After a very rainy and cool spring, we have endured a dry and torrid summer here in my part of New Jersey. Officially, summer continues for the next few weeks, but already it seems like we are looking forward to cooler temperatures and the golden light of autumn.
I've been fascinated by wildflowers this summer, especially queen anne's lace, or wild carrot. If you follow my other blog, In a Soft Light, you are probably sick of the sight of them. lol But I just love the flowers, and especially the seedheads that are so frustrating when they stick to your dog's coat. I think the architecture of tiny struts is quite beautiful, especially when they are all curled up.
So here are a few of my favorite queen anne's lace shots.

ReplyDeleteI love Queen Anne's lace -- so delicate, yet so insistent on putting on a show.
ReplyDeleteHave never seen Queen Anne's Lace look any lovelier. I was also going to say that I can see those autumn colors showing already. Very warm and pretty, Mary.
ReplyDeleteThere's all those beautiful QAL's! I love the deep green colors. For some reason I can't seem to capture the same tones.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mosaic Monday, Mary!

They're all beautiful though!

Dear Mary,
ReplyDeleteI hope that you had a lovely cool night, Friday night, too! We've had rain ALL day - hooray! People's wells are drying up, up here. =( Hopefully, this rain will keep going and help a little. I just know that, right now, aaaaahhhhhh, it's so pleasant! Here comes September!
Love, Katy Noelle

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, wonderful colours.
ReplyDeleteMary, I too am quite enamored with Queen Anne's Lace. I wish there was more of it around here. I was even thinking of taking some seeds from the roadsides in Missouri (where my parents live) and planting them in our pasture just so I can have some! Lol!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Mary..

ReplyDeleteHi Mary!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photos you are showing, and such a delicat light!
Have a nice week!
Best wishes,

Oh Mary, don't apologize for taking photos of QAL. They are one of my all time favorite flowers and I actually will pick them throughout the summer and bring them in, and the seed heads are beautiful too. They were also one of my grandmother's favorite flowers as well.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are just beautiful. What type of camera do you use because I sure can't get those shots with mine. It reminds me of my wonderful good ole fashion Pentax I used for years and really miss using now, actually.
I hope you have a lovely day and that it turns cooler for you there in New Jersey soon. My post is all about getting ready for Autumn myself. I just am in the fall frame of mind.
Smiles and hugs,
Susan
I need to start doing this again. It was fun. Hope your week is beautiful, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful photos, Mary.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing Mary! I just adore the last photo.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Mary! I love all wildflower/weeds. They are so carefree....
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the lacyness of the Queen Anne's Lace. You have composed your shots so nicely. They are great.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary
ReplyDeleteI saw some lovely Queen Anne's lace last week growing in a meadow at Highclere castle, but my camera and my photography would never be anything like yours!! Exquisite photographs each time!! Jackie in Surrey, UK.
Your pictures are always such a treat for me!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful mosaic, once again!
Have a wonderful week,
