Before I head off for Europe this morning, I really should update you all on the Blazing Star bloom. I expect the season will be about over when I return. On the south side of the highway, where they did the latest controlled burn, the Blazing Star are as lush and full as I have ever seen them on the Kennebunk Plains. It is really a sight to see. 🙂

In an attempt to capture the effect, I used a moderate telephoto to compress the distance and fill the frame with flowers where they covered a small rise. Samsung Smart Camera WB250F in Rich Tone (HDR) mode. Processed in PicSay Pro on the 2013 Nexus 7.
