Wind flower blossoms, Denali National Park, Alaska. Canon 5D Mark III, 500mm f/4L IS, 1/640 @ f/9, ISO 100
It is springtime in Denali National Park, and the remnant covering of snow still remains in the high country and mountain passes. But in typical June fashion, that big and ever present sun has lured many flowering plant into profusion of blossom. This cluster of wind flowers, or narcissus flowered anemones, caught my attention while looking for an object to photograph during a sunny afternoon. The 500mm focal length helps blur out the background as backlighting enhances the flowers petals.
