As I mentioned in my previous post, much of the trail photography during June was less organised than previous years and mostly I responded to moments of inspiration or aspects that simply caught my eye.
In particular I noticed how the dappled sunlight highlighted the creamy white flowers of the umbellifers* especially when set against areas of deep shadow. These were some of the results:
*I note that the term umbellifers is now out-of-date and has changed to the more scientific sounding Apiaceae family which includes hogweed, cow parsley and pignut, to name but a few.
Deciding which type Apiaceae I was looking seemed a task beyond the photography but I retained the term umbellifers for being more descriptive of the flowers which arrange themselves in umbrella-shaped umbels.
