On my bird walks today, I saw plenty of red and blue birds (Northern Cardinals, Indigo Buntings, Blue Grosbeak) but no white birds. So instead, here are today's color-appropriate wildflowers:
Beautiful - especially that chickory. The petals look like they are paper thin - like you could almost see behind them. I hope you have had a good 4th of July so far.
Chicory really is underrated. Dusty and tattered, along every roadway, everyone ignores it. But when you stop to look closely at the flowers they really are lovely. Look at those delicate little anthers - like tiny moth antennae.
Come visit me in my world,
5 acres of southwest Ohio, which I share with a collection of pets and wild things. Take your shoes off and have a seat - what we can find to talk about today?
Since April 1, 2009 (with a few exceptions), Canon Rebel Xsi, using either a Canon EFS 18-55mm IS lens or a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Before April, 2009, a Canon Powershot A530 point and shoot with 5 megapixels and a 4x optical zoom.

My favorite's chicory, too. Dainty little saw-toothed edges....so sweet, but tough enough to brave every roadside.

Looks like you and I had the same idea for posts today!
BTW: Glad you had a good day of birding. I wish I was well enough to have gone. Oh, well. Someday, I will rise to bird again!

Happy July 4th, Katdoc! I'm partial to blue flowers. Thanks for the Chicory.
