Spring Walk


- Took a spring walk around the neighborhood this afternoon and took this pictire of these delicate very pale violet flowers. I'm not sure what they are but I liked the texture and decided it would make a good black & white photograph. Canon 7D, 1/400 sec @ f/11.0, ISO 400, 100mm macro, converted to B&W in Lightroom 3 using Silver Efex Pro 2.

Ipheion uniflorum or Spring Starflower. It is an onion relative native to Argentina, and this picture is very nice. I would not have thought to look at it in black and white.
