Great shot as usual Laurence. Is that a Trillium in the foreground? Wild?

It sure is trillium, Patrick, we have it also in northern Idaho plus little
orchids called "lady slippers" which I'm sure are in western Washington, too--nice catch, Larry!

Welcome back Bill. It seems you were gone for about a week. Hope all is well.

I used to grow those things back in the UK as a much desired garden plant - they were sometimes known as the "handkerchief plant". Am still in awe over the number of "garden" plants growing wild herre in the PNW. Shocked Shocked

Andy, I'm fine, work has been a real bee-otch lately, in fact I'm using
my laptop at work during a small lull.

Patrick, trillium are interesting since the seeds are spread by ants and
mice. A meadow full of these in bloom bring back memories of Talache
Road, Black Mountain, south of Sandpoint, Idaho. Wish I was into photography back in the 70's. Sad

Well, I sure would like to "practice" with something like the Epson V700! My 2450 does pretty well on medium format, but I can only imagine the results with something in the neighborhood of 4000dpi, plus all the bells and whistles of those higher end scanners.

Thank you Orio. I ALWAYS love to hear from you. The flowers "make" the shot for me, along with the ferns reaching into the frame from above.

Hubert, the forest in that west side valley IS magical. It really truly is....

Yes, the lady slippers will be out around April as well, in the deeper forests, especially like to grow in the "needles" left at the base of trees, and usually always on sloping ground. Of course, one wants to break out the macro for those!

Yes, Patrick, wild. In fact this particular creek valley is one of the best places for Trilliums I've ever seen! They are everywhere in April and into May!

Looks like Bill is up and running! Great, I always love to hear from Bill!

Beautifully composed and exposed as always.
