Description
My husband John & I came upon this gorgeous field of wild sweet peas in the countryside near Ashland just as the sun was setting behind the hills ~ a special Mother's Day bouquet! We, of course, had to go traipsing about in the fields like kids before spying a 'comfy' rock to sit on & have our snack. Took some shots [with the cameras!] while being serenaded by songbirds & embraced by soft fragrant breezes ~ sweet, as in 'sweet peas'! Love the tree growing out of one of that big rock, which looks a little like 'bonsai' according to my old friend Brian Tada.
FIRST place in 'Photography - Meadows' contest! What a wonderful surprise. Thanks so much for voting, everyone!
