wild lily of the valley
A small plant which grows in patches around my home. The wildflower guide book says to 2 feet high, but the key word is “to”. Most around my home are six to eight inches high with a long cluster of tiny white flowers lasting briefly in early June.
It’s been a cool June so far with rain and low temperatures. The cloudy days are just right for photographing wildflowers.

currant abundance
A hummingbird sips nectar from a wild currant flower amid the multitude of tiny pink flowers covering the bushes. Too dark a day for wing stopping shutter speeds, I opt for a wing blurring speed and find the resulting transparency of the wing make this a favorite image of recent days.
