This was a picture that I had trouble with, so I began playing with toned and b/w filters. I really liked the texture and light vignetting, which I felt worked nicely with the darker shape in the background.

What a perfect name for this bright and cheery flower! Growing in lovely bouquets of yellow flowers, these plants grow all over our property, bringing smiles and happiness to anyone who sees them! :) Also known as the Common Wooly Sunflower., this flower is native to western North America, and is found from southern Canada to southern California. There are about twelve species of "Eriophyllum" and the first was collected by the Lewis and Clark expedition in Idaho in 1906! If you would like to know more about this flower, Wiki has a page here: Wiki: Eriophyllum I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too! Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
