So many of us see wildflowers growing by the roadside and just pass them by without a second thought. Gradually their beauty will fade without even being noticed until the next season. As many of you know from my gallery ,I love the wonders of nature and the beauty it has to offer. John Burroughs described the way I feel best." I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order". I so appreciate your views and comments if you wish to leave one.

John Burroughs explained the reason I'm here at Caedes. This image is so beautifully comoposed, the clarity is sharp and the colors intense. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. I can't remember who said that.

I agree with J. Burroughs there too! I think majority of us on Caedes feel alike on that score! Love the flower, so full of Sunshine! Nicely captured!

The beauty of wild flowers can be lost so easily. I try to capture as many as I can when in the mountains of Colorado. A have a large gallery of them that I just cannot find the time to post. This is a lovely image you have foofoo. Keep up the good work.

The name ChuPat is derived from my nickname Chuck and my wife of 34 years name Patti. Her photography will appear on Caedes as well from time to time. I consider myself an advanced amature not anyway close to being a professional. I have just taken photography more seriously since I have switched to digital. My profession has always been associated with pohtography in one way or another. Any criticism I receive will be well appreciated.
