In this different angle from the scene depicted two posts ago in Benchwarmers, an opportunistic Echinacea bloom finds sunlight through the slats of a wooden bench, while another bloom seems to ponder a similar course. Photographed in Sleepy Hollow, New York, August 1, 2014. Higher resolution versions of this photo can be viewed at 500px.com.

I just love the softness of the flower, against the texture of the wood, Kenn.
Beautifully captured.

  Thank you, Pat. Yes, some scenes seem as though they’ve just been sitting there, waiting to be photographed. This was one of those.
