nature photos

Went for a drive through the park today.  It was a bright overcast day so I thought I might be able to get some decent photos.  Not as many opportunities as I had hoped, but a few. I also saw a red-headed woodpecker and a pair of young deer, but couldn't get them photographed.

There were lots of these flowers.  Not sure what they are.

I like the touch of purple the vine provides to this shot

This grouping of thistle was along the road in a large meadow
