They say that three time's a charm, and today was my third attempt to get pictures of the little pink flowers that are growing in our meadow! I was distracted along the way by lots of beautiful subjects... thistle fluff... extremely rare, nearly pure-white Moth Mullein... a big fly... but I would not allow anything else to take Picture of the Day! It was very breezy out, but not nearly so bad as yesterday, and I enjoyed walking around and taking pictures of different pink blossoms. I discovered they are called "willowherb" and more specifically, Threadstem Fireweed, named for its penchant for growing where fires have been. In our case, it's just dry as a bone around here! :) I have two other views of this tiny beauty, I hope you like them! :)
