Slipper Orchid
Stumbled Upon a Slipper

These flowers show up for a short time in the early spring. Of course, to catch them during their short blooming cycle, you first have to find them. When visiting the park, I asked one of the rangers if they had spotted any and they mentioned a couple of possible locations. Unfortunately, we didn’t find many but we were pleased to, at least, find a few.
This morning I got up early to see if I could catch a sunrise image but the sky would not cooperate. So, since I had a little time, I looked at some of the images I’d captured earlier and hadn’t taken the time to process. This is one of those shots from June of 2019.
