Purple Loosestrife is considered an invasive perennial weed but does serve as a source of nectar for bees and attracts butterflies!

I was inspired by the rain, boredom, wanting to play with my extension tubes and seeing a fellow flickrite friend....Ray, post some great images of Tiger lilies.

I wasn't pleased with my image focal points, so I combined three images and layered them...just to see how it would turn out. I was pleased with the results. Always fun to experiment.

Views best in lightbox.

My images can also been viewed at 500px.com/LindaGoodhue

Please do not post flashy group icons or self promote. I always welcome and appreciate comments and feedback from my flickr friends, contacts and others.
