Pure and beautiful, Kathy!

PS: think that (according to Wiki) North America has the Anemone quinquefolia, while Europe has the Anemonoides nemorosa.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Stunning capture, and I realized "anemone" reminded me that it is a Greek word for "windflower". "According to Greek mythology, the anemone sprang from Aphrodite's tears as she mourned the death of Adonis. Thought to bring luck and protect against evil, legend has it that when the anemone closes its petals, it's a signal that rain is approaching." (from google). Favorite for me!

With your wonderful capture and narrative - I now know what they are. The challenge for me is to remember this when I see them again!

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

Your wonderful photo and narrative, plus extra information from SEA and Vicki makes this a must keep Kathy.
Beautiful. For some reason it reminded me of a water lily.
Great shot. I could see this being a contest entry.
Best of luck in the contest.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
