Eindrucksvoll gepflegt.

Certainly grown in the care of a gardener.

With little noise the stream travels through the woods bringing life’s riches from one place to another. Fish, frogs and other water dwellers travel within the stream providing food for others. Listen closely to hear the quiet noises when “Smoothly Water Runs” Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe. Be kind to everyone and smile.

I've just noticed some asters starting to bloom in the prairie areas we check out regularly. I haven't spotted any New England Asters yet, but I found several of these blooming at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge. I enjoy finding wild asters because they are so pretty, but it is a little bittersweet because it means the wildflower and butterfly season is about over for another year. I must admit I am guessing at the ID of this. I also came up with Sky-blue Aster. Both are native to Iowa. Perhaps someone can help. The bloom is about 3/4-1 inch across.

Another macro shot from a blooming plant here at the botanical garden. I like the smooth look.

Und noch ein Makro aus dem botanischen Garten hier in Hof. Ich mag besonders den weichen Ausdruck dieses Bildes.

This spot in Donegal is simply breathtaking and i had it all to myself

Moody clouds and extended shutter on the water made for some interesting contrasts while there at Lake Louise.

Liked the many shades of tan and the smooth earth here in this section of the Petrified Forest.

Gimel-les-Cascades is a little village in a French area, called Limousin, with nice waterfalls.

View in the soothing forest.

The plant contains cardiac glycosides, allied to digitalins used in treating some heart disease. These glycosides, when absorbed by monarch butterfly larvae whose sole source of food is milkweed foliage, make the larvae and adult butterflies toxic to birds and other predators.
