Sun on Virginia Sweetspire

Virginia Sweetspire BCJ

Dealing with summer weather, it is best to get out early to hike. I couldn’t do that this morning, so I was hoping for the afternoon, but of course the afternoon rain storm kept me from my playing. After all the rain, I spotted the sun shining through the leaves of Virginia Sweet Spire (Itea virginica). My favorite way to capture leaves, with light shining through them. ISO 400, f/5.6, 50mm.
