Rare are the words, “There’s no wind”, heard in Southwest Oklahoma. Even more rare are the times when it’s actually true, with nary a breeze astir. The morning I came upon this scene at Caddo Lake on the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge was about as close as it comes. My timing was perfect, which is rare for me also, and I knew I would have to hurry to capture the scene as I found it. My sense to make haste proved true, because within fifteen minutes, I could feel a breeze whispering on my cheek and see the delicate wildflower heads beginning to nod.
