One of the most fascinating things we experienced in early Spring this year, after arriving in Oregon in January, was the appearance of various wildflowers around our home.  As the Spring moved on into Summer we had a kelidoscope of color all around us.  We literally had never seen so many varieties of wildflowers in one location. Naturally, I had to get the 60mm macro lens out and start taking a bazillion pictures...much to the dismay of my wife who had really hoped I would have picked up some garden tool and done some landscaping...priorities.
