We have been having some amazing skies lately. This is from a Saturday afternoon/evening photoprowl along the Kennebunk Bridle Path. The Heather is coming into bloom in the wet salt-marshes and on the dunes along the shore. This was an experimental shot, to see if I could catch the sky in sharp enough focus to work with the close-up of the plant.

Canon SX40HS. Program with iContrast and –1/3EV exposure compensation.  24mm equivalent field of view. f4 @ 1/1250th @ IS) 160.
