Queen Anne’s Lace, in all of her majesty, found in a Colorado meadow high up in the mountains.
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts…There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature, the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” ~ Rachel Carson

Queen’s Anne Lace is a native here in the Mid-Atlantic. I adore its clusters and for its precious flowers up close. Carson’s quote is an apt companion. Happy Photo Challenge.

I discovered this plant in Norway. Perhaps it is a slightly different variety you have here, but perhaps not? Anyways, it is really enchanting. I love it’s delicate petals and formation, so that if there are many plants in a green, green field, the effect is like a dusting of icing sugar! Thanks, Sally!

I must say this was the first time I had seen Queen Anne’s Lace. The meadow had many shorter plants and indeed it looked like a dusting of sugar. This particular plant stood do tall it just seemed regal. Thanks for your comment.

I could be wrong about the Hogweed, but I’ve never seen leaves like that on dainty Queen Anne’s Lace.

Well, Hogweed or Queen Anne, I liked this flower/plant, and actually focused more on the light and composition as I took the photo. I have some research in my future š

Of course maybe it’s a different type of Queen Anne’s lace, that doesn’t grow in MY neck of the woods
but I’m wary of it’s safety to touch.
