Took these trillium pics this morning on the Chimneys nature trail. Spring is very nice. The peace and quiet of the mountains and the rushing water of the full mountain streams is as beautiful and attractive to me as ever, but the desire to take pics of it just isn't there. It's a lot of photo work to do these flowers justice, setting up a tripod in uneven terrain, finding the right background for the composition, and getting the exposure right. I just took these handheld and it shows in the quality and sharpness. I'd still rather have my bare feet in the sand and sea watching pelicans surf.

There's a lot to be said for handheld shots. Much easier to capture life as it passes by so quickly.

Well maybe, but for someone who doesn't have this type of Trillium (that would be me), they are kind of a thrill. :)

Well, they're nice shots nonetheless.
You could get into a rock blogging phase... you (almost) never have to worry about them blowing in the wind.
