Just Some New Mexico Wildflowers

The drought here has been very severe affecting all wildlife including wildflowers. We're starting to get a few at higher elevations where monsoon has been in effect although very sporadic. These pics are from prior years when I was using a Nikon D90 which I have since sold and switched to a D7000. I have also sold the Nikon 18-200. Many taken with a Nikon 85mm micro as the focal length of my Sigma 150 macro is too long for wildflowers in some cases.

Lewis's or Blue Flax - Linum lewisii
Although this was taken with the much panned Nikon 18-200 and, much to my amazement, it won first place in the county fair for flowers.

#1 looks rather familiar- I have a Polemonium sp. in my garden.

Thanks for the compliment.
