Occasionally you find a Ghost Flower or Indian Pipe plant with the blossom still pointing up so you can see what is inside. And here it is. The inside view of the Ghost Flower. Who would suspect that all the pigment in the plant is mostly hidden. Even viewed on phone you are seeing the flower at life-size or more.

Snowy Egrets: (and two Greater Yellowlegs) York County Maine, USA, August 2024 — A small pool and lots of birds so, of course, there were a lot of squabbles as they hunted. Here two Snowy Egrets face off while another strolls by. And of course the Yellowlegs, are variously concerned. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent.
