Description
Atop Mount Lemmon, Arizona (USA), part of the Catalina Mountain Range, in the Coronado National Forest, wildflowers adorn the sunny open areas of the pine forest of the rocky slopes. I have had the pleasure to visit this area when flowers are in bloom.
I found these wildflowers to be of unique beauty, learning these are the prairie coneflowers (Ratibida columnifera), also known as Mexican Hat or upright prairie coneflower.
The flower heads do have the shape of a sombrero, and one can see why they would earn the name of Mexican hat. Looking like they are doing the "Mexican Hat Dance!"

Wonderful capture! Congrats on your features. I was able to enjoy many of the wild flowers of the Southwest on two trips back in the 1990's.

I fell in love with the natural lighting, bokeh, and prominent textures. Nature's best.
Janet Marie replied:
Nieves! So glad you fell in love with this. I love to have the natural background when shooting a shallow depth of field image. Sure beats photoshopping a texture background (although I don't have any of those programs, they can come in handy I suppose if ones image needs that extra help). Thank you for taking the time to share your lovely thoughts. I really appreciate it!
