Hanging Portulaca

I was sitting outside in the shade enjoying a cup of tea and watching the birds when I noticed that at long last this beautiful flower is coming into bloom. It is tiny, and was swaying a little, so quite hard to photograph. The photo I really wanted was a backlit one, as it looked so beautiful, but the pink was just so vivid that it flared and blew out, so this is my best image of the day - not a lot of choice as I hardly picked up my camera all day.

Canon EOS 20D
1/250s f/9.0 at 100.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

AS usual I find your photographs quite astonishing.

Nice shot. The pink is gorgeus.
