Natural Trumpet Vine
A walk in the woods, especially in low areas, one can find these beautiful orange trumpet flowers high in the trees.This one was probably 25" up. Used a 500 with iso set at 200. Naturally, in the woods it is most often always very shady and dark. I guess I'm into the wildflower thing.Just shareing. :wavey:

Nice one Jackie. I love the color contrast.

P.S. A small compositional thought, a crop down from the top helps draw more focus to the flowers!

Hi Lynn, I appreciate you noticing and commenting on the trumpet vine. I checked out your portfolio. You have some beautiful photographs but my favorite is the Sand Hill Crain. Great colour and a fine capture. :toast: This coming weekend I will be camping at the Little Talbot Island camp ground along the Atlantic coastline in Florida. A lot of wildlife, birds and nature as well as the beautiful ocean to photograph. I am hoping for a fabulous sunrise, as well as some fantastic waves to photograph. Keep on clicking,
