[Summit Images]

These are "Showy Milkweed" blossoms. MilkWEED?! I was walking a trail by Utah Lake with some coworkers when I spotted these. I loved them and HAD to take some pictures. I don't know about you, but I think they're awesome!! I called it "the star flower" until one of the guys in the office (who went on the walk) who is a former horticulture major corrected me....Thanks Ben!

So these are essentially the same picture. Just goes to show what you can do with the right equipment and the know-how! I took these to prove a point to a friend of mine and ended up kinda' liking the pictures...If you look, you can see that the foremost flower is in focus in the first picture and the green pods are in focus in the second, while the flower is...not so much.
