Nancy & I went for a walk yesterday after work as we often do. We have a trail out our backdoor that goes for miles. We walked past this purple trillium along the way and thought it was just choice so today after work I grabbed my kit and went back to it.

The background isn't the best that's for sure. This flower was above my eye level on a slope so I had to deal with what I was given...

I am really struck by this purple trillium since I've never seen one this purple before. Plenty of whites and the few pinks but never one this boldly purple!!

So as always please let me know what yall think of this one ok??

All things concidered, pretty nice and it is purple. I just compaired it to one I took last week and its much darker then mine.

Jeez, Rick, dead on sharp, eh? My only nit would be that triangle in the LR, I'd crop that out.
