On a speedy, one-day trip to Austin and back earlier this year, I asked Mark to stop so that we could shoot some images of some gorgeous wildflowers — (wild yarrow?) Queen Anne’s Lace, per the comments below — growing along the side of the road. The plants numbered in the thousands.
And while a still photograph can never reveal any movement, there was a light breeze blowing and they were gently bobbing their heads at us, almost appearing to say that they approved of us stopping to admire them.
Those flowers are Queen Anne’s Lace, not yarrow.
I think Queen Anne’s Lace–beautiful!!– https://www.google.com/search?q=queen+anne%27s+lace&espv=2&biw=1242&bih=566&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjK_OzXzfDNAhUk8IMKHcV7Bw0Q_AUIBigB
Pretty! We were traveling the WV Turnpike last weekend and the traffic was so bad, we were crawling, and I was photographing wildflowers on the berm. 🙂 Yarrow and Queen Anne’s lace look so much alike, it’s hard to tell from your photos without seeing the leaves (QA has pairings of leaves, called opposite, whereas yarrow has alternating). I caught photos of wild thistle – they were huge!
Thanks to you and everyone that responded to the post and on Facebook! We stopped and photographed them, and man oh man, my allergies went berserk afterwards, but still happy that we stopped.
