Azalea Dream

This is the local wild azalea. I've found them in the woods before, but didn't know there was one in the woods right across the road from me. Experimenting with spot-metering, which I thought might help with taking pictures against a bright background. Also for the theme looking up.

Gorgeous wild flowers, lovely dof and focus.

I like all the different shots of the wild azalea. It is very attractive with the delicate stamen. Not sure if we have wild azalea here in England.

Very nice detailing

This is great because the background is just as lovely and interesting as the foreground!

I like the red tendrils. Lovely shot.

The background has a very creamy Bokah effect that I love. Also love Azaleas and Azalea is the name of the school my husband teaches at.
