This is the season for Queen Anne's Lace.
Roadsides, pathways, and pastures are all wearing pinafores over their
dried and faded summer clothing:
From buds ...
... to full-blown,
the blossoms appear in all shapes and styles:
Mother Nature does "piercing" best:
Antiquated dandelion will probably persevere until the first frost:
Another unseasonable surprise at the feet of the Queen Anne's Lace, a hardy clover:
Chicory blooms like bright blue embroidery on the lace:
Reward for the early-morning photographer!

So Lovely! Queen Anne's Lace has always been one of my favorites.
I believe I may be over-using the single word that keeps coming to mind as I view your offerings: "Exquisite!" This truly is the word that applies in every way. I have always loved Queen Anne's Lace, and you have truly captured all of its variances. A welcome reminder that life is still 'abloom, even though I am surrounded by office walls and partitions. This is a treat!
