Sheep Laurel in the shade

Sheep Laurel: Kennebunk Bridle Path, Kennebunk, Maine, USA, June 2025 — I had to look it up this morning (and I really wish I hadn’t). Sheep Laurel gets its name because it is poisonous to sheep and other grazers. And it is otherwise such a pretty plant! Without a hint of malice…but then that is probably what makes it dangerous. I will never look at it quite the same way though. Here seen deep in the shade of the forest, back 20 yard from the edge of the marsh. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 105mm. Aperture preferred for depth of field. f13 which gave me 1/30th (I really should have had my tripod.) Processed in Photomator.
