Wild Things

 I guess this rose isn't technically wild, rather it has naturalized. Nobody has done anything to it for years and yet it still blooms beautifully.

 Click on photo for full width. The late lilac, another ignored plant, looks very Victorian with the pink roses.

 The wild grasses are so pretty.  The township hasn't mowed the side of the road yet so I get to enjoy the weeds and grasses a little while longer.

The Canada anemone is a bright little flower .

"For the beauty of the earth
For the beauty of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
Christ, our God, to thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise."
