Roadside Attraction

Natural beauty can be found and cultivated in the most unlikely of places. Several years ago my partner and I planted several species of indigenous plants including Red Columbine and Lance-leaved Coreopsis in a garden beside a busy highway in front of our home. One June evening I photographed the wildflowers backlit by the setting sun as evening traffic passed by. The light which caused the bokeh ball beside the Red Columbine bloom had its source in an approaching vehicle's headlight.
