When I was a kid at summer camp we used to call hawkweed (above) the devil’s paintbrush. Both are common names for this attractive flower although the latter appealed more to the imagination of ten year olds! I don’t think I really took notice of the yellow salsify before I picked up a camera. It was while composing in camera and in the editing that I began to appreciate the flower’s detail and form.

Isn’t it wonderful what the art of photography inspires and awakens in us? Wonderful spots of color and summer here, Belinda, and a fun memory of childhood too.
