Carnivorous Sundews
Lens: 55-300PLM Camera: K3mk3 Photo Location: Black Moshannon Lake, PA ISO: 5000 Shutter Speed: 1/350s Aperture: F22

Our local peat bog lake hosts 3 different carnivorous plant species; the most interesting looking are the tiny Round Leafed Sundews. Those glistening, sticky drops of liquid on the hairs attract and trap small insects, which are then absorbed into the plant. Photographing these from a kayak on an always windy lake was a challenge, but I found the DOF Bracketing mode helped ensure at least one shot would be in focus.

Good bright colors and very nice details. Thanks for sowing these. I don't think that I have ever seen them before.
