Vetch


Another member of the Pea family, Vetch is a ground cover with beautiful pink/purple flowers, that is very common in open areas. This photo was made by combining 6 photos with different points of focus to create a better depth of field than can be achieved with a single photo even if at if shot at F32.

Geranium dissectum


This tiny wild Geranium is very beautiful close-up. The flower, barely visible at human height, is about 1/4in across and has five deeply dissected petals and leaves (hence the name). There are so many wild Geraniums, it took me awhile to key this one out.
