THIS IS HOW I ENVISION HEAVEN TO BE PHOTOGRAPHY A few hairy wood mint

A few hairy wood mint plants can be seen near or underneath peachleaf willow trees on the west side of Wildflower Park during late spring and into mid summer

I set off from the trailhead with camera gear and tripod in hand on this July summer morning at Wildflower Park

The hoary vervain or hoary verbena is a short lived perennial plant native to the prairies of the USA

I was looking to photograph the wildflowers and sunrise on this day in the park
