[Leica] Wednesday Weeds

[Robert Adler]

Hi Don,
I especially like the second image. My only suggestion would be, if you are
not averse to cropping, a square format elimination the two blue bonnets on
the leftmay be more powerful. I hope you don't mind the suggestion.

Out here we call them lupines which, when I looked up the difference I
found:

"Bluebonnets are a type of lupine, but not all lupines are bluebonnets.
They belong to the same genus, *Lupinus*, but "bluebonnet" refers
specifically to several species of lupines native to Texas, whereas
"lupine" is a broader term for hundreds of different species in that genus
found worldwide."

Lovely sharp focus and black background really makes the one on the right
pop!
