I thought with all the bad winter weather we are having in Minnesota, a nice picture of wild flowers picked from the prairie, this last summer would be nice. They were so pretty this year, I just had to pick some.

Mahonia is a first sign of spring. It appears immediately after the snow. With its beautiful flowers and intense scent, it attracts bees.
Yellow is not my favorite color. It should be. I have it everywhere this spring. It sorta grows on you, I think.
Hiking at Coyote Hills is never disappointing. It inspires a grateful heart. There is a butterfly garden there, it's fairly new. It's truly lovely with many beautiful species of plant life.
Dandelions are typically seen as a common weed that can be a eye sore in lawns. However, it is an edible herb and good for a variety of ailments. This page contains dandelion photos.
I had to snap this bright and beautiful flower that was on our table at McDonald's. It was so nice to see all the tables with flowers!
This beautiful flower, God's creation, was the perfect solution to calm my nerves and help me focus on what is important in life. Someone very precious to me, my daddy, was going through numerous health problems.
While walking in Altisma Park with my husband, Brian, I kept passing pretty orange flowers. Eventually, I spotted this yellow one among the orange in one of the flower beds.
I called this one "Beauty's Beginning". I almost named it "Innocence", just because of her young age and beautiful, womanly shape. I am not sure what type of flower this is, but I love the colors and shape.
While walking the paths leading through the gardens of Shore Acres State Park, this pretty little yellow blossom caught my eye. I loved the way some of the petals curled, I also like the color yellow - it reminds me of sunshine!
