Wildflowers... best viewed large! by marlboromaam

Wildflowers... best viewed large!

My front yard is full of these pretty little purple wildflowers (toadflax). I sat in the middle of the them at least an hour today, just admiring their magnificence and taking pics of their purpleness. Thought of this Tom Petty song. Enjoy! "You belong somewhere you feel free..." Yeppers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G-42RYWRvE
Makes me want to run through it like a child… Remembering those days now :)
