From Scattergun Reserve. Conneautville, PA....
Plant life. Any botanists (amateur or professional) out there know what this is? It was deep in the woods, next to a small pool, and it had no relatives nearby that I could see. A hermit. It sure is red.
Plants and animals... I know this image is kind of cliche'd, but I don't use my macro lens nearly enough. So here it is.
If you like them, I'd look for these and others like them at our Nature and landscape image website .
EDIT: Well, well, well... thanks to reader "Anonymous", we now know that that beautiful red flower above is known as the "Cardinal Flower". You can look, but don't eat it!
Since 2009, the retirement home of Shot On Site Photography... the source of the finest sighthound performance images in the world. As of August 1, 2022, the blog will become much more photo-centric. Not only will I post images from the homestead in the foothills of the Little Florida Mountains, and surrounding environs, but also tips about shooting, editing, archiving, software, hardware and more. The political rants will become few and far between (but not eliminated! It is 2022 after all!)
That lovely wildflower is Lobelia cardinalis.
ReplyDeleteThank You! uh, "anonymous". Why anonymous? And does it have a common name... like Red Light District Flower? Never mind... I can "Google" with the best of 'em.
