Trifecta (bud, blossom, blossom all equidistant)
Purple Gerardia (Agalinis purpurea ) - Blackpoint Drive, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida
Furry and Pink
'Captured from the safety of my car.
Well maybe not all that dangerous out there,
but there are those pesky mosquitoes that get riled up when you disturb their rest.
For this capture, I wedged the lens foot/barrel against the window rail, my back against the side of the window and pressed my face firmly on the camera back to get tripod-like stability.
I also do the same with even longer lenses by snuggling the lens barrel between the mirror and the side of the car (while resting my arms on the window rail), to shoot straight up the road.
Note:
The equidistance allowed my to go short with the DOF,
and isolate the blossoms from the BG
