Hellebore

A Hellebore photographed today at Normanby Hall Country Park in North Lincolnshire. It seems like the bitter easterly wind has been with us for weeks so it was nice to be able to get the camera out today while it was nice and still. I headed to Normanby and spend a couple of hours photographing this little patch of Hellebores. I think these lovely flowers look great when photographed using backlighting. I used an extension tube to help get this shot.
