TUNDRA LIFE IN THE COLORADO ROCKIES PATH Smooth hedge nettle and blue

Smooth hedge nettle and blue vervain wildflowers are in full bloom during the summer months at Wildflower Park in Northern Illinois

When she burst off the perch is when I had seen her out of the corner of my eyes

Bright white flowers of the elderberry bushes can be seen throughout Wildflower Park during the summer months
