Found a bunch of these along a canal at early morning light, and while the bees kept busy I got a few shots.
The white areas among the purple are tiny white flowers with yellow centers, interesting, but rather than shooting close up I wanted more of a landscape type scene.

I like the bg, The horizontal crop is interesting, if it were mine I would crop out the foreground leaves to the left of the main flower.

Wayne: Love the DOF, the light, the colors, the party crasher, and the bokeh. Well done. >=))>
