New image set starting today: colour, colour, colour!!!

Okay, color to my American friends... I had an American girlfriend who asked why we put an extra letter in "colour", "harbour", etc. I asked why she put an extra syllable in "hat", ie. "hey-at". She said she didn't and it was my imagination. I said I didn't, and the "u" was all in her mind. Aren't regional differences fun?

But I digress.

Back to this photo. Plains Coreopsis, aka Tickseed, blooms here in late summer. This field was not fenced off, so I was able to walk right in, but before doing so, I made a few shots with a long lens to compress the already densely-packed flowers. No surprise that there were lots of butterflies and bees in there...

Photographed from the edge of a backroad in the unincorporated community of Rosefield, Saskatchewan (Canada), Pop. 16 (according to the most recent census). Don't use this image on websites, blogs, or other media without explicit permission ©2024 James R. Page - all rights reserved.
