The cone heads and friends by louannwarren

The cone heads and friends

The thistle prairie cone head wildflowers are kind of on their last leg, so to speak. They are in protected "do not mow" areas on our walking trails and as soon as they are all brown and have dropped their seeds for next spring's flowers, they will be mowed down. These were pretty with the sun shining through them.
beautiful nature! fav

Pretty capture & great light.

Beautiful little fuzzy tops! What a great idea to let them go to seed where they stand! I was reading that we need to plant more wildflowers to bring the bees around, and I know Texas leads the crowd doing just that!

Lovely lighting.

Nice catching the light on top of these seed heads! Looks fluffy but probably isn't!

Thank you! I had taken a lot of photos of the trail wildflowers, but I was facing away from the sun. These glowed in the sunlight when I turned around!

That's what we need around here - some "Do Not Mow" areas until things have gone to seed. So many places I walk use to have fields full of flowers - but the early brush hogging has really taken its toll - and for no reason that I can see - it's not baled or used for hay or anything. Love the sun through these.

Love the POV!

That is a pretty sight. They are glowing in the sunlight. Well seen and captured.

This is such a summery image, brings me some sunshine on this very cold and rainy day for me

Beautiful capture, Lou Ann! I love your PoV and the gorgeous sun shining through! Fav! :-)

@milaniet @365karly1 @littleconnie @nicolecampbell @gaylewood Thank you so much for your comments and favs! To be honest, the clumps of "do not mow" Wildflowers look pretty straggly right now, surrounded by mown grass. But next spring the Wildflower protection will really pay off!

Nice stunning shot in the sunshine. I like the fact that some are still in bloom and others have gone to seed.
