Stream Orchids
This photo was taken by my wife and shows the Stream Orchid or Chatterbox, Epipactis gigantea, in situ. A close-up shot of the flowers is included below. This is a typical setting for the species, near a river or lake, sometimes so close that it is almost in the water. The photo was taken in Olympic National Park and I thought she did a fine job on this and liked the inclusion of the blackbird in the shot.

Wonderful shot =) Great composition and DoF! It's nice to see the larger picture of the environment surrounding these wild orchids sometimes, too =)
