My favorite columbine. This was shot in late Spring in the conservatory at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. There were huge masses of these beauties--a magnificent sight!

Congratulations to all the fantastic Finalists--I may not be able to comment individually but will be admiring all of them during this week.

(P.S.: My job and I parted ways again yesterday)
