I love flowers. Especially in my backyard where I can watch them unfurl and unfold changing the landscape right before my eyes.  For the past few weeks, I watched the coneflowers progress.

Here’s what I saw.

 

 

 

Wow!  What a change.  I’m not sure which stage I like best.  Perhaps it’s like raising children.  Each stage seems the most beautiful, until the next stage reveals new glories. Whadaya think?

What’s in your lens this week?  For more splendid photos, please visit Pierced Wondering by clicking on the box below. She has lots of colorful flowers to look at, but it’s the black and whites that I found most striking this week.  Gorgeous and haunting cemetery scenes. That reminds me to take some photos of an old cemetery nearby.  Maybe for next week.
