Calendula

Another calendula.. I love those flowers.

There are a lot of calendulas, the colors of the flower changes between white, yellow and orange tones. I found this one around the Bambois Lake in Belgium. It's a lake where people used to fish and an ecologist association bought it.. so now, it's a natural reserve with a lot of birds and bugs. There are places where children can learn about the different kinds of backyards like the vegetable one, the zen one, the one made for working insects like bees... all those backyards are made all around the lake and it's a wonderful walk. It's where I found that dragonfly...

I hope this flower will give you happy colors for your sunday ;-)
