The evening I had returned to Alligator Park in order to see if the two baby eagles and the mother were in a good position for a photograph. She soon fled the nest and the chicks hunkered down, so I sped down to the open semi-wet lake bed hoping to spot the turkey. No turkey. Standing in the field, a large dark cloud obscured the setting sun. It caused a broad band of light rays, that was most dramatic. It was in the field, that I saw the two thistles, with the myriad of stink bugs, wasps and bees clamoring over the top. I took the D5000 and attached the three-foot flash cord. I set the flash on low and held it in such a way so as to back light the thistle. I then waited for the creatures to fly. The combination was pleasing.
