Wildflowers backlit during the "golden hour"

My favorite time to photograph outside is during the "golden hour."  The following flowers with their identifying comments below were photographed using the sun as a backlight during the "golden hour."  Enjoy!

The next three images are purple coneflowers.  My favorite is the second image with its colorful background.  Shooting with a wide aperture lens when backlighting makes for beautiful background colors!



These daisy fleabane wildflowers are so tiny and so much in abundance!

This daisy fleabane image was taken from above in the warm light of the "golden hour."

This unique milkweed is called green comet; very fitting name, isn't it?

A bumble bee feasts on this milkweed called spider antelopehorn inflorescence.  What an interesting name!

A caterpillar on the milkweed plant, same type as above.

Last but not least is this cobaea beardtongue wildflower!  You can see it's furry tongue sticking out of the flower!
