On 10/5/11, Paul Stenquist, discombobulated, unleashed: Trillium is the Michigan state flower, but it's an endangered species in our state. It's not all that rare, but it is easily disturbed, and I assume there's a lot less of it than there once was. I've always been fond of its delicate shape

Paul, around my house we seem to be having a banner year for Trillium - haven't seem so many in over 22 years. They're called Large-Flowered Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) The background in your shot is distracting to me and I try to get around that by shooting down low and somewhat up to

Thanks for commenting Ken. Including the leafy background was intentional here. I wanted to show the flower in its habitat, but didn't want it to be fully in focus. I probably have more trillium than ever before as well. They multiply year by year if I can avoid stepping on them:-). Paul On

I think the angle and crop you have here is very good Paul. It shows what looks like the main part very well. I hear what you are saying about old houses. We have similar problems in this area. Our surrounding towns seem to hold these historic buildings in high value and do everything they can to

Our old house was haunted. I'll go to my grave knowing this as true. I have talked to others that lived in it before and after me. They had not heard what i saw and heard in the house, and their stories are the same as mine. Not just old house noises. Its haunted. It was a cool place to live
