Hidden Wonder

I don't know what this is but it was interesting because the normal stamens where covered with fuzz in fact the whole flower was fizzy. The ant was a nice bonus

The day was very windy and this butterfly was hanging on for dear life, it was swaying so much I had a hard time keeping it in the view finder. I managed to get only this shot from the several I took. My contribution to #biggyfriday +Ray Bilcliff +Sherry McBriar

I just discovered this theme and would like to contribute this image. I like the curves and lines. These are Poplar leaves early in the morning covered with dew.
