I came across this carpet of small yellow flowers in the middle of a commercial zone along North State Road in Briarcliff Manor. I thought the masses of yellow flowers would make a nice picture if I could get down low. Then I noticed this purple flower (I think it’s clover but I’m not sure) and it occurred to me that it would make a nice contrast to the yellow. Bearing in mind lessons-learned from a similar picture (What’s wrong with this picture) I looked around for distracting elements and removed them.

I came across this flower growing by the side of Lake Shore Road – I don’t know what it is. I was a bit surprised as it looked like a flower that should be growing in a garden rather than wild by the side of the road.
