We've been staying in the Gallatin National Forest since leaving Yellowstone, and one evening we went out to photograph the glacier lilies near our campsite. It had rained that afternoon, and the flowers still had water drops on them. I was drawn to the bloom in this image because two of the petals had odd curls to them, and by framing it just right, it made for an interesting composition.
