A day with wildflowers

in GEMS4 years ago

Showcasing some wildflowers in my garden, that I have seen since childhood. I was busy all day searching for them with my poor smartphone camera, trying to give my best with it :)

I didn't realise them to be a true beauty, untouched, uncared, and unnoticed by many like me who had never glanced into them so closely before and thought them to be a part of the rubbish bush but the story was different as they are an amazing part of amazing nature.
