I got a bit carried away with the “C’s”. Click on photos to enlarge and see names. Please play along and put a link to your posts in comments here as well as on Cee’s FOTD blog.
At this time of the year, these golden cosmos fill the ditches, hillsides and draws near my house in a wild tangle.
In September and October, the fields on the way to the mountain town of Tapalpa, a few hours from my home, fill with millions of flowers, including acres and acres of cosmos. These photos were taken ten years ago and Oscar, the little boy in this photo, is now 12 years old. Perhaps it is time to take his little sister up into the fields this year!
Cee’s posting of her cosmos flowers today prompted me to echo her post.
Not the same flower as a few days ago, but possibly the same wasp.
Don’t miss this flower on Cee’s blog: Beautiful and Weird!
I’ve been doing so many closeups of flowers that it occurred to me that flowers can be as beautiful en masse as singly and close up, so for the next few days I want to show some of the acres of wildflowers that grow up in the mountains during September and October.

Oscar and Carmen Play with Flowers
I think there were twelve of us in my full-sized van that day, off to see the wildflowers and rocks of Tapalpa. This series of pictures is all about Carmen and Oscar. Oscar is the little boy you saw diligently doing his English homework at my dining room table a few days ago. He is now nine. In these pictures he is two. Carmen is his sister and stylist.
Oscar was pretty happy with his handful of pristine white flowers
But Carmen had a better idea.
She looked beautiful in her cosmos garland, in spite of the sun in her eyes that gave her a wistful look.
But she had further plans.
And I’m not too sure how Oscar feels about his sister’s attempt to spruce up his look, but I thought he looked adorable!
