Saturday morning was overcast, calm winds and a misty rain. It was a good time for some botanical macro photography. I headed to a local park that has some some MN Native orchids growing there. I found this trio of Lady's slippers dripping from the misty rain.

Hi

A fine shot of some splendid plants - the lighting looks grand and I like the composition based around the three blooms, very nice

All the best
Matthew

A very nice image of this pretty trio John! The soft light and moisture gives a nice gentle mood to the scene.
