As promised– your flower palette cleanser. These were not much bigger than a dime. I had to break out the true macro to get good shots of them. Sarah was hand-holding my umbrella reflector overhead and I would aim the flash on camera up at it. We got some very nice light that way.
I saw a bunch of these on my photo walk yesterday, but I didn’t take pictures of them. I had a few already in the files. This is called a “Yellow Salsify” (scientific name Tragopogon dubius major). Tragopogon means “goat’s beard” which refers to the seed heads. A member of the Aster family. Very pretty, and one of the first spring flowers that I see around Colorado each year.
My story “Groob’s Stupid Grubs,” a story of a goblin’s hopes for his idiot children, is available in Black Gate 15.
I recently finished the first draft of a YA novel called Takedown Notice set in the net-mage universe of my stories “Captain Blood’s B00ty” and “One Click Banishment.” What happens when the Magical Association of Atlantis finally gets the upper hand against the net mages in the spell program copyfight?
