How much can one edit to keep the picture 'natural'? Not the best way to phrase the question, I know.

Thank you Jawarah.
Here are a few pictures of wild flowers which my daughter took yesterday:

I find wild flowers have a particular beauty, because they are so delicate and simple.

Peace, and happy sunshine! :)
 
^ Beautiful! I like the Buttercup! :)

Change it very minimally, just for the sake of touching it up, but not to change it. Blur the background if needed, if some colors didn't pop out the way you wanted tweak that a bit, make it a lilll bit lighter or darker as needed... But don't go over the top, that looses its charm. :thumbs_up
 
Salaam,

Ehm yes I want to stay young as I seem to be getting old :(

j/k :D

Great pics glo, at least you know the names of the flowers, I simply can't remember their names, so when I post a photo I either have to search for it or ask my brother. I think he is going to shoo me away one day lol.

^ I'm like that too. I keep asking my sis and mom. Every time I think I'm getting better at it, they get some new flower to make me confuzzled. :D

I just realized I have posted quite a few pictures of South Dakota but not many of Minnesota. Yesterday was a beautiful day and Aabidah and I spent the day walking around in a secluded field we know of in Osakis, Minnesota. It is best reached on horse back as it is about 10 miles off the road, but yesterday the ground was solid so we drove out to it and spent the day taking pictures. We took several hundred picture, but I will only post our favorite ones here.

Much of it is, Minnesota is called the "Land of Lakes" there are over 10,000 named lakes in the State of over 100 acres in size. Plus countless ponds such as the one in the pictures. Because of the numerous lakes there is a lot of forestry. this is also the summer nesting grounds for most of the water fowl found in the Western Hemisphere. The variety of birds is beyond imagination.

It is quite a contrast to North and South Dakota which border it. Although North Dakota has many ponds often called pot holes.

Minnesota does have 3 large cities, Saint Joseph, Saint Cloud and Minneapolis. But the total population of the state is only 5,220,393 nearly all of that in the Minneapolis area. The area of the State is 87,014 SQ. MI

Decided to add 2 more pictures of the field

This next one is one of my favorite plants. Milkweed I have loved it since I was a kid. It is a major weed in dairy country as it ruins the milk if a cow eats any of it. But, it has a redeeming quality it is the only food source for Monarch Butterlies in the far North.
