It was amazing this pond was just full of these beautiful yellow flowers. I'm not sure what they are but if any one knows please let me know in the comments.

The gillardia usually grows further south but some had seeded in an open ditch area along with the tiger lilies to make for a beautiful display.

So beautiful. What a gorgeous place you live in!

That is one of the things that drew me to the forest. the beauty, peace and abundance of nature, It really saddens me with the destruction caused by the lumber industry, this forest area is also part of the forest lease are for the lumber companies. Another thing too is some people from the city who come to live in our neighborhood will cut their ditches to make it look like a green lawn instead of letting theses wild, beautiful flowers grow and along the highways they spray so these flowers don't grow. It's crazy!
