It’s one of my favorite wildflowers, here in New Mexico. The root systems are known to track up to 150 feet to find water – though that’s not a problem with these.
This is at the bottom of our back meadow, the water table is about 4 feet down, the Santa Fe River is about 50 feet away.
Mostly, I’m still settling in to my new camera: Panasonic Lumix FZ50. The ergonomics are the best ever.
Hey not to give up on this but I downloaded the picture and rotated it 90 degrees which I think was the way it was taken and it looks way way better. Perhaps it was the fact the ground seems to be on the right hand side of the image that was putting me off. Does the image so in Landscape to everyone? I think it looks way better in Portrait.
