Posting a flower would have been too obvious for this week’s photo challenge, so I searched through my files and found this shot from last March.

I used my Rebel EOS T1i with EF-S55-250mm lens at 225mm. 1/80s f/6.3. I shot it at about 6:00 in the evening, handheld, out the window of my car on the way home from work. Thank you for your kind words.

Nice . . . but aren’t the challenges meant to motivate one to go out and photograph something.
Not that I partake, read them, or know much about them. Just asking.

Considering I already challenge myself daily to come up with something, I tend to utilize what I already have “in the can” for the weekly challenge when I choose to participate.

not criticizing . .. just asking because I’m not familiar with the challenges.

There are no “rules’ to the challenge that require using a photo shot that week. Lots of people just dig into their archives. SKEdazzles often throws up a series of photos that match the challenge, for instance.

That’s exactly why I haven’t submitted anything to the challenge. All I could think of was a purple flower. And I’m not necessarilly a flower kind of guy. I love this shot. Was that the super moon?

Thanks. I don’t think it was during the super moon. It was just low in the sky. (And the super moon isn’t really any larger to the naked eye than the regular one anyway, but it gives the news shows something to talk about other than, you know, news.)
