Chicory is easy to spot on the roadside; it's tall and the bright blue really stands out. Something else I've noticed is the blossoms only last one day and by looking at this photo you can tell the hoverflies really like them when they're blooming.

About Me
- John Theberge
- I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Wow John that is fantastic...still can't wait for the book!!! The chickory is about all I have growing in my yard right now!!! Now I'll look at it as a work of art!! I have a request for goldenrod photos from you!!
I love the color of chickory! I would like to get some growing in my yard somewhere :-) It always catches my eye on the roadside. That photo is great with all the hoverflies! I wouldn't think that bugs would improve a photo, but they make it more interesting.
My favorite wildflower! Beautiful!
I hate to announce my ignorance, but I had no idea that was chicory! Lovely photo, even with the flies.
With blue my favorite color - gues what this is - one of my favorites in Wildflowers!
Cheers, Klaus
Hello John
Another of my favourite flowers - I love the deep blue colour. Not to be confused with the Common Blue Sowthistle, which can appear quite similar. Do you have that over there?
Best wishes, Adrian
The color is so soothing. I have always loved these fragile flowers.
Wow, another amazing one! I especially like that little critter on top with the nice wing span.
