Trillium albidum

Trillium albidum

The trilliums in the Alpine Garden and Native Garden are in full glory this week.

I took this photo yesterday using “guerilla” photography. It started to shower, which prevented me from doing my usual macros on the tripod. Instead, I decided to tuck my camera in my jacket and pull it out for quick handheld snaps of subjects. Take the picture, write down the name and accession number, and hustle off to the next (it was cold and wet - movement was a must). I'm pretty happy with this.

Also, have a look at the black and white version of this photograph.
