THE THISTLE OF THE PRAIRIE BEEBALM (MONARDA DIDYMA) (602-13-15)

(602-13-15)

Goldfinches sometimes can be seen feeding on the seeds

the waterfalls at Starved Rock State Park were at full volume and were spectacular to see like this one of wildcat canyon waterfall

Hope everyone has a great day and that you find some beauty in your own world

I decide to photograph this peachleaf willow tree against the fading sunset behind on this cool spring night in April
