Default Some wild flowers to chase my frustrations away

--------------------

Well, had a shooting appointment right now (5 :30 pm); but the weather is spoiling it for me. We wanted a summery golden hour (should have started about an hour ago), but right now, the sky is heavily covered.

Anyway, let me at least share these common wild flowers with you guys.

Wild Flower

Thorny Wild Flower

Thank you guys!

Your appreciations gave me my daily photographic satisfaction.

BTW, my client agreed to wait for another day with the right elements and lights (At least, the job is not lost)

Thanks, mate! I have crosscheck the names you mentioned and i have to recognize your knowledge in these beauties. I had no clues what could be their names. They were just pretty and willing, and i had my camera. LOL!!!
