Virginia Rose (Rosa virginiana)
Woodman Fen, Dayton, Ohio
"An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day." - Henry David Thoreau
For this trip to the fen, I was with a buddy of mine photographing any and all we may see. Our eyes were led to a beautiful sycamore tree standing tall beside the boardwalk. This was a time for relaxed experimentation and to help each other with improving our skills.
This rather small flower stood out to me almost instantly. Its broad petals and showy pink color was tempting to capture on camera. Fortunately it was right beside the boardwalk as well. So with a tripod and extension tube, I worked the scene as this floral subject "stared" back at me.
