  Thank you! It was a very awkward shot. I wasn't really dressed/prepared for taking photographs in this area (you can get lots of mites called "chiggers" if you aren't careful), so I had to reach very carefully to avoid touching any foliage!
  
  I'm just happy some of my shots came out clear! Thanks for the promotion! Posted 6 years ago
