Petals like Flames

We had the most heavenly spring day here today-- bright sunny blue skies, temperatures in the 70s, and a light breeze. I never realized that there is constantly a breeze blowing everything around until I started taking macro shots of plant life on a regular basis. The wind is always blowing. This shot took quite awhile to get waiting for a lull in the breeze. The notched orange yellow petals of this coneflower looked like flames blowing in the wind.
