Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Rhododendron Flower. One of the few plants that blooms in my yard where the flowers are 6 feet above the ground. They are above and out of reach from the hungry deer. Image taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 60 mm f/2.4 macro lens (ISO 200, 60 mm, f/8, 1/320 sec).
