Description
While traveling to the Grand Canyon National Park, along Highway 64 North, one gets to view a sea of various wildflowers, out the window. But of course, I can't pass up this photo opportunity. So it's driver stop and pull over!
There I stood in the middle of all these Arizona Sun Blanket Flower or Indian Blanket Flower (used by Plateau Indian tribes to treat wounds and settle fevers). It is a flower belonging to the Sunflower family. Standing like showy pinwheels, they exhibit blanket-like density, generally displaying a blending of bright reds and yellows, to form a striking tapestry of color.
But I love black and white photography, and especially did I love the background of this capture. It was as though this one bloom was standing still, while the world around it was whizzing by in a flash. Well that is what it has for me. I feel like that flower, so I say, "Don't Let Life Pass You By!"

Yes my precious Dad does love Black and White photography. He has some wonderful photography that I want to share. To good to be hidden away. His work and talent did inspire me.
