The purple ones look like echinacea.  They are beautiful.

I am always amazed at the beauty of creation.

Yes, they do.   Are there wild echinacea?   What is amazing about the beauty of creation, is God made all of it not merely beautiful, but functional.   The colors of these flowers, although merely beautful to us, are used as beacons for bees to come and feed (and thereby pollenate).

If we could see in ultraviolet, as bees can, we would also see that many of them have bulls-eyes, or the equivalent of landing lights to guide them to just the right place.

Whether or not they evolved, it would seem even more wonderful that the Lord is great enough to bring about a universe in which such things could appear by agency of the nature He created, and to give us a sensibility that would delight in His work.

On the 3rd day of creation were plants trees herbs and all living plants.  And God saw that it was good!

Ou know you could print and sell your pictures.  I just love this one.  Would you mind If I had it printed and framed?

You are a very talented photographer.  You are showing versitility in your work.

Judy, you may print any of my pictures for your own use.   I like the idea that they will give pleasure to other people.
