The Glacier Lilly flower is one of my favorite Springtime flowers, and happens to occur naturally on my land here in the mountains of SW Idaho. As a matter of fact, this flower was located under the stairs of my front deck!

Macro (close up) photography with a medium format camera is very challenging. It requires absolutely no motion for the typically 8 seconds each exposure requires. There cannot be even the hint of wind. I felt extraordinarily fortunate to get this image, which is perfect, sharp. I think part of why this worked was because it was somewhat protected by any wind being under the stairs of my deck.
