Coreopsis!

So... if you're one of those "in touch with the seasons" types, you know that every month and every season has its own special wonders. The first of May brings the Coreopsis bloom to North Florida - Ordinarily average looking fields and roadsides explode with yellow flowers atop a sea of green stems...My friends the Whites (the ones from the Melrose/Hawthorne/Campville area) have been telling me about this field of flowers and that I HAVE to see when it blooms...turns out they were right! I arrived late afternoon, right as the light was going off...and saw this...

and this...

and when the clouds overhead turned orange in the final light of the day, the colors went crazy...

and the wind was blowing a sweet breeze...sometimes it feels like you are part of an impressionist painting...

and you keep on pressing the shutter as you smile...

Hey, did you know that Coreopsis is Florida's State Wildflower? Now you do!
