Mountain Bog Gentian
precious flowers of the wild
late summer beauties make me smile
growing in the mountains high
delicate strength in which you thrive
your beauty has me on my knees
admiration for you
turns into a gift for me

Only through you, Tammie, though I've photographed the Gentian many times, would I become aware of its "freckles". The folding of the flower to protect against the elements is ingenious, isn't it? I spoke of you last night at a party - one of the guests was visiting your area last week (in the rain).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macro, Tammie! Wildflowers are just the best, as they carpet the landscape.
