Here are a series of three versions of a vibrant blue dayflower found while hiking through the Voorhees Nature Preserve in Virginia in mid-August of 2022.
We were deep in the woods and it was a bit dark at times, so I wasn’t sure these would come out. The first is more of a closeup in shade with soft colors.
A Day with a Dayflower
Ten seconds later I made the next frame a little further from the flower. We can see the sun made its way around any clouds and branches and created dappled lighting on the forest floor in the background.

After four seconds the sun was once again hidden, creating the darker background of the final photo.
