April 19

It's funny to me that this is the photo I decided on because it really wasn't anything I was working on, but just a quick photo to try to identify what this is. It grows in a marshy area. Any ideas, Dad?

Anyway, the color is just so nice on it. I can't believe it's so muted in the background at f/8, but I guess it's because I had my telephoto lens on. I had to get pretty far away before the camera would even focus on the flower...I was probably 4-5 feet from the flower.
