Growing out of the prairies of Kansas, these flowers stand like sentries, waiting for a future time when they are accepted everywhere.
As a photographer, one thing I like to do, when I have the opportunity, is to flirt with the lines between foreground and background. In this case, there were small windows along the underground passages at Monticello that allowed a view into the main gardens. One of htem had blooming flowers outside, providing the perfect contrast of light, dark, foreground, background.
