A lovely pheasant in a place where hiding wasn't really an option as I drove by this field. Backed the car up and took the shot out the window and ended up with a pretty cool photo.
Two standouts in the first crop of Sunflowers. Mid July. These were very tall. Some six feet or so. Shot with a polarizer late in the afternoon on a 100 degree + day. Have a Great Evening and thanks for the look.

This Gulf Fritillary was such a standout amid these delicate white wildflowers that grow along the beach at Fort Morgan...
'Pineapple Sun' coleus and magenta chrysanthemums. And there's a 'Postman Joyner' caladium leaf trying to photobomb the shot!
Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring flowering perennial plants of the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae. Various common names including daffodil, narcissus and jonquil are used to describe all or some members of the genus. The species are native to meadows and woods in southern Europe and North Africa with a centre of diversity in the Western Mediterranean, particularly the Iberian peninsula. They are predominantly spring perennial plants. They have conspicuous flowers with six petal-like tepals surmounted by a cup- or trumpet-shaped corona. The flowers are generally white or yellow or orange or pink, with either uniform or contrasting coloured tepals and corona. 11766

This 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante Coupe' is the only one of the 17 Atalantes to be painted in this yellow and black manner, most being all black or black and red. The Type 57s were the most successful of the touring Bugattis, and remain eye-catchers today.
Designed by the scion of the founder and chief engineer, Ettore, his eldest son, Jean showed early genius in both engineering and body design.
Jean Bugatti (Gianoberto Maria Carlo Bugatti; 15 January 1909 – 11 August 1939) was born in Cologne, Soon after his birth the family moved to the village of Dorlisheim near Molsheim in Alsace, Germany, where his father built the new Bugatti automobile manufacturing plant. Born into a family of creative people, from boyhood he was interested in his father's business. His grandfather Carlo Bugatti had lived in France for several years when he relocated from his native Milan to live in Paris. The Bugatti family were multilingual and in France, Gianoberto became known as Jean.
During World War I, the family lived in Milan, Italy. After the ceding of Alsace by Germany to France after the end of the war in 1919, the company became subject to French jurisdiction. By the late 1920s, young Jean Bugatti was an integral part of the company and had already demonstrated his vehicle design abilities. In 1932, at the age of twenty-three years, he did most of the design for the company's Type 41 Royale. His body designs complemented his father's engineering skill, making Bugatti one of the greatest names in automobile manufacturing. Additionally, Jean Bugatti designed four bodies for the Type 57, the Ventoux, Stelvio, Atalante and Atlantic models. Regarded as the finest of all the Bugatti touring models, the supercharged Bugatti 57 was debuted at the 1936 Paris Salon. Jean also showed his engineering skills by working on new independent suspension systems to replace solid front axles and on twin-cam engine applications.
He frequently tested the company's prototypes. On 11 August 1939, while testing the Type 57 tank-bodied racer which had just won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race that year, not far from the factory on the road near the village of Duppigheim, 30-year-old Jean Bugatti was killed when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a tree after avoiding a cyclist.
