Painted Trillium 

Painted Trillium, Rachel Carson NWR Headquarters trail, Wells Maine

It is realitively uncommon for the Painted Trillium and Lady Slipper Orchid to be in bloom the same days…but this is one of those uncommon years. Generally the Trilliums have gone by by the time the Lady Slippers open. This Trillium was right across the trail from the sunny slope where the Lady Slippers come into bloom first. The even light of an overcast day allowed me to catch all the detail in this beautiful flower.

This is a telephoto macro…taken at 600mm equivalent on the Sony Rx10iii from about 5 feet. 1/200th @ f4.5 @ ISO 100. Processed in Polarr.
