As always, I am behind in posting my free photos...
Yesterday evening I took my little point-and-shoot camera with me as a jogged* through the trails of Gunpowder State Park. I was hoping to take a few shots of wildflowers to post here. Only a few were visible, though, and the low light of the setting sun in the woods didn't help. I did catch a Jack-in-the-pulpit, however, glowing in the last rays of the sun.

In the picture above, the light from the sun disappeared just seconds after taking this shot. You have to get the picture when the moment is right!

* To say that I "jogged" is taking liberties with the meaning if the word. It's been over a decade since I last entered a race. I've put on a few pounds since then. It may be more appropriate to say that I "waddled at a faster pace than normal."

You're funny (re. the waddling). Beautifully atmospheric photographs. I especially like the second Jack-in-the-pulpits, and the Evening on the Gunpowder River.
ReplyDeleteThe two you mentioned are my favorites, too. It was getting so dark by the time I saw the heron, I'm surprised the picture turned out at all.
