Okay…after yesterday’s post, we have an image containing a real weed. To anyone who suffers from allergies to tis pollen, Goldenrod is most certainly a weed. Still, it is a very attractive plant in bloom, and here makes a lovely frame for the lone stalk of Blazing Star. I saw this shot in my mind before I found the angle to capture it…with the camera well below waist level and using the flip-out LCD for framing.

Nikon Coolpix P500 at full zoom, 810mm equivalent field of view, f5.7 @ 1/500th @ ISO 160. Program with Active D-Lighting.

Processed in Lightroom for Clarity and Sharpness.
