The prairie danced in the breeze today at the Nature Center under mostly blue skies. I found a small patch of four purple coneflowers, with those perfect orange domes atop their whorl of purple florets. I wanted a view with a lot of sky and so looked from the ground up. I saw queen anne's lace swaying gently at several heights, yellow coneflowers twirling above, and black-eyed susans and daisy flebanes rounding out the understory. All of these are small explosions of color in the sky, curving and bending with the light, singing and breathing with the wind.
