Lady Slipper with Blurred Woods Background

Lady Slippers are one of my favorite local plants, and this one's blooming cooincided with the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens Review.

The woods is full of photographic distractions, but getting in close with a wide aperture takes care of those problems. Aligning a tree behind the plant helped make it stand out.
