Passing the Days: Day 40

I love to take a close look at things.  So may tiny, hidden treasures are really there in plain sight if we just look.  I am most happy surrounded by trees in  forest; big old Ponderosa and Douglas Fir to name just a few.  It took me a long time to find the beautiful hidden treasures that abound in other landscapes. Take the prairies for instance.  They can look like just a vast empty grassland when driving by, but when you stop to look they come alive with all sorts of things.  I can spend hours lost in a meadow teeming with flowers and butterflies.  Today's block is called Prairie Queen.

 I knew I wanted to represent grasses with a green, but I also had in mind to capture the colors of wildflowers as well.  So instead of just one color for my four-square blocks I used two complimentary purples.
