I seek to capture the beauty that is present in every day, and there is inevitably so much more than I could ever expect to grasp.

or white or yellow
and you know how i love
somepinkflowers....
I would have called it a forget me not too. Its so pretty and delicate.
SOMEPINKFLOWERS:
I agree with you,
whatever name this wildflower may have, it is an incredibly beautiful plant, - the flower petals, the leaves, the buds -, hiding among the meadow grass.
While there are pink wildflowers in Austria, I photographed the tree peonies in Belvedere Castle's Alpine Gardens last week. More to come! ;-)
PHOTOWANNABE:
True wild forgetmenots grow along the creeks where I grew up, so I do no the difference. This little beauty here is much smaller, tucked in between the leaves of grass.
I call this flower a Veronica.
