Shot: Close-up of a flower. Photographer's note: "This was my first time to see pine barren gentians. I consider them to be one of the most beautiful North American wild flowers. The plants are difficult to recognize if they are not in bloom. Flowers close nightly and only open on sunny days. I discovered if an open flower is shaded, like by a photographers umbrella for more than five minutes, they will begin to close."
