All green, few rocks

Here's a few more from the Sheep River valley tour. Yes, it was a productive day for photography. There are some peony shots from the morning of that day that will show up anon.

Pity the clouds obscure the mountains, but I think it gives more emphasis to the green on green and subtle lines of the hills and vegetation.

This is one of those shots that is deceptively simple. It's easy to get the flowers and water drops sharp, and all the background to be a blur, but I wanted to get the background only a bit blurred to give a sense of the space the flowers are living in.

Dodging a great deal of cow poop to get to these bits of wood.

Peony of the Day
From June 29. I love the subtle bits of red and yellow in with the white, and the tiny bits of decay starting on some of the petals.
