LIMONIUM NASHII

earlier this month the sea lavender was still in fine bloom.  my favorite flower of the marsh, also known to some as marsh heather because of the purple flowers.  the challenge for me photographically is line up a good composition because there are so many bloom on each plant!  some might find this image too filled and busy, and would prefer a nice simple image of the sea lavender, but for me one of the enjoyments of the plant is the sheer overwhelming quantity of the tiny flowers...

i shot this in the overcast diffuse light and humidity of the late afternoon as we waited for tropical storm hannah to fly by.  the photographer in me could not resist that light opportunity!
