After almost stepping on a 4' king snake I found this guy.

These are the coolest flowers. I just discovered them last year. Nice picture Tim. Glad it was just "almost" stepping on the snake. :smile:

I'm happy to take all of the king snakes that you find - they are great to have around! Kind of scary at first when they are that big though...

Gorgeous flowers, Tim! I'll have to start keeping an eye out for them.

Tim, I really like the way this image flows through the frame. It's a beautiful subject and you've captured some very nice detail in the blooms & buds. I would like to see some detail in the brightest petals; any room on the original capture left to bring back some detail & textures on them?

King snake, well if they eat copperheads they can't be all bad! :wink:

Thanks Wayne, One of these days maybe I will stop doing that. You have to go here to see the new version.
