Who needs a garden when the roadsides provide so much beauty. I’ve had an itch to photograph them, but you don’t want to stand along a busy highway to do so! Instead, I headed for some dirt roads that I figured would not be highly trafficked. Here are just a few of the flowers blooming along the highways (and dirt roads) of Western New York in early July.
Wild Parsnip and Sweet White Clover
Purple Clover and Bird’s Foot Trefoil
My favorite stretch of country road was lined on both sides with Day Lilies:

Nice shots!
Thanks. I was using my 100-400 lens… trying to decide if I should keep it or sell it.
I completely agree. Roadsides and meadows are just beautiful now. Great combination for the trefoil picture!
I don’t often find the flower and the seedhead posing so nicely side by side!
All these wonderful wildflowers!! Your dirt road shot is astounding. — barbara
It was a beautiful sight! I think I should go back there a few more times this summer!
