Wood anemone
A day off, and not wasted. That’s gotta count for something… My favourite wood anemone patch is best photographed in the morning, so I set down to shoot the flowers. Since the place is shaded for most of the day, the wood anemone are blooming later than elsewhere and there were plenty of buds and even tiny leaves indicating that the wood anemone season would continue for quite some time. Just as well, because there isn’t much else for me to shoot. Some violets are already in bloom though and I was surprised to see small lily of the valley buds in a sunny spot, but mostly, it feels like I’m still in waiting mode. Flowers, oh flowers, how I miss you…
This is one tricky species to shoot :/ I haven’t found shootable individual yet, and have basically given up with it.
