I made a roadside stop to try and capture the purple and pink flowers of this Viper's Bugloss(Echium vulgare)which seemed especially luminous is the last rays of the sun. Also known as Blue Borage so I guess I was doing a forage in the borage to try and get a good view of this :) Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Thank you for viewing, comments most valued.

They look luminous here too. No wonder foraging animals and photographers are attracted to them :) Lovely image,Lyn.

A forage in the borage. I like it! Great intense blue here and just a hint of the dramatic backdrop behind. Like Pat says, an exposure nightmare but very well handled.
