flowers (with falls)
From a 2005 trip with my parents to Niagara Falls for my mom's 60th birthday celebration.
Sadly, the beautiful purple spiked flowers are purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), which is a terrible invasive plant found all over eastern North America.
The title comes from an ongoing joke we have about our Canon G3, which has a habit of autofocusing on the wrong thing in the shot. We have a fabulous shot of Queen Anne's Lace from Glacier National Park with a blurry mountain goat in the background, for example, which we call "flower (with goat)."
Thankfully, in this case I think the focusing worked. It helps that the flowers were far enough away the whole shot could be in focus. The hard part was the exposure (dark foreground, very bright background)!
