Florida Flame

This is one of my favorite azaleas at the Arboretum (I believe it’s called Florida Flame), and I seem to photograph it every year we go there. I realized when we got home after our first visit on Thursday that I had missed it, so we went back on Friday to find it and others on the higher trail we hadn’t taken the day before.

Sole catch, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/500s f/8.0 at 300.0mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
