Kansas Prairie Wildflowers : Familiar Beauty

During this past weekend at the farm, I decided to go for a little photo walk. After a few minutes, I found myself totally enamored by the wildflowers spotting the prairie. I know they’ve always been there, but for whatever reason, they called out to me this time. I inspected each and every one, all the little details making me smile with each click of the camera shutter. I took so many, I’m thinking of making a Blurb book of them and giving them away as holiday gifts. That’s on everyone’s list, right? A book of photos of flowers? Great.

Here are a few of my favorites. I hope they bring you a bit of joy and peace like they unexpectedly did for me. Just goes to show, sometimes you have to see something a thousand times before you appreciate it. There is so much beauty in the familiar, it can be easy to miss it. But then the wind blows another direction and you look down and at your feet is a beautiful sight, if you only take a minute to really see it.
