Great Outdoor Challenge

Because we live in the city, we don't see too many wildflowers besides your basic dandelions, which can grow even in the middle of a sidewalk. Even those get mowed down so often that we really don't see as many as some of you country folk. :) So this challenge has us looking high and low at what little nature that does surround us. It's inspiring!
Here are just a couple pics of some beautiful things we've spotted close to home:
