I was walking through a  prairie one day, concentrating on the taller plant species, when for some reason, I looked down at the ground.  After stooping over, I found this delicate flower blooming at the same level as a common blue violet.  The brilliance of the yellow colors amazed me and demanded that a photo be created.
