A zoomed and cropped image of a little wild Yellow Prairie Violet. A lovely splash of bright yellow when you happen to spot one hiding in the grasses. Found this one west of Nanton, Alberta, recently.

LOL, I think I surprised even myself when this photo loaded - pretty sharp, unlike some of my photos : ) We saw several of these wildflowers at 12 Mile Coulee a few days ago. We don't see many of these plants in the city, so it's always a pleasure when they are found. Flowers are 10-15 mm across, growing April-early June.
