June 2025. \u2014 It is getting late for Lady Slippers but, what with the weather and a late start on my triking season, I have not gotten out to Kennebunk Plains before yesterday. There are still some Lady Slippers in the woods upstream from the pond, though their numbers don\u2019t seem to be what they have been the past few years. It has certainly been a cool damp spring. This shot was taken with the Sony a6700 and Tamron 50-400 using its macro capabilities at 102mm, and mounted on my little travel tripod that goes down to ground level. I used my macro settings: Aperture Preferred at f14 (1\/40th @ ISO 200, -1EV for the highlights).
