Pretty in Pink

Foxglove in bloom...

I don't normally take photos of flowers because I consider them to be for lazy photographers. It's near impossible to take a bad photo of a flower and you don't have to venture any further than your local park or backyard. Not much effort or thought required.

That said, I was hiking nearby Christmas Hill when these flowers jumped out at me for their unusual shape and bright colour in an otherwise field of wild growth.

I'm told by fellow photographers that these are foxglove and that they aren't native to this area.
