Lonely Oxlip

I got up early today, hoping to photograph dew-covered Orangetips (Anthocharis cardamines/Oranjetip) on Cuckooflower (Cardamine pratensis/Pinksterbloem). I found some but they were not on the right spot. So I changed my attention to the upcoming Oxlip (Primula elatior/Slanke Sleutelbloem) flowers. For me this is one of my best photos!
Tomorrow evening I give a lecture object “Small en Big Flying Objects” in Eindhoven; it’s about birds, butterflies and dragonflies. Later today I have a radio interview about this lecture that will be broadcasted this evening between 22.00 and 23.00 on Radio 5 (NTR Academy).

* Canon EOS 5D Mark II, 70-200mm/f2.8 @ 175 mm; ISO-400, f5, 1/640s; +0.3 stop; hand held.
