Pale Purple Coneflowers © 2010 Bo Mackison
My first wander through the Wisconsin prairies this summer – a feast of color. The pale purple coneflowers were in full bloom and danced merrily with huge stands of orange milkweed. There were a few tall yellow compass plants, towering a good five or six feet high and bright orange wood lilies, too. Plus the waving grasses.
I so love the prairie in bloom.
Great photo – The shallow depth of field works beautifully.
I think bokeh is one of my favorite things to work with, Gandalf.
It looks almost like a painting. Beautiful.
A bit impressionistic, yes…
That’s a “ballet” of coneflowers.
I’ve always thought of coneflowers as dancers, especially in a soft breeze.
Lovely coneflowers and I love the prairie in bloom too. Have a great and safe 4th!
We are prairie girls! Right, Anna?
Very pretty. I agree with the dancing comment as well. Like little ballet skirts. So great.
