May Apples at Mountain Lake

Here is a closeup of a May Apple flower just beginning to bloom. This is the first time I ever got a shot of the May Apple flower in this stage. It is difficult to get a good shot of a May Apple flower due to its location under the leaves and due to the way it normally tends to kind of lean downward toward the ground. But here at Mountain Lake I was able to get several good shots, partly because there were so many from which to choose, and partly because the slight slope of the hillside made it easier for me for look "uphill" and directly into the flowers.
