Sorry I haven't been around more guys!! Ospreys and Warblers have been keeping me very busy. I found this Wild Columbine right near a permanent blind that I was photographing warblers from. It's the nicest looking wildflower I've ever found, and I feel pretty lucky to have found one!

Hi Chris
A really excellent shot, nicely framed with a lovely clean BG and you have managed to include enough stem to ground the subject. What more could one ask?

Regards
Matthew
