Ephemeral Beauty

Trillium are spring ephemeral wildflowers, meaning the pop up and then fall off within a week or two. Taken along the East Pond Trail in the Sandwich Range of the White Mountains. I wanted to put the flower in its spruce/ fir forest context by including the base of spruce tree but used a shallow depth of field with f 2.8 to isolate the center of flower and convey to fleeting nature of this existence. I love working in the backcountry, even for flowers. I feel more creative while hiking.
