Pink Creeping Phlox

More and more of my spring perennials are starting to bloom and brighten up the yard. I really like Creeping Phlox. It's such a hardy plant and the foliage stays green year-round.

The wind was blowing really hard today, but these pink phlox were shielded by some steps and by me since I had to get so close to the ground to get close-ups. Used my +4 close-up filter on my big lens. Had to balance my camera on one of the steps to get close enough, which was actually more stable than a tripod and helped get the flower tack sharp. Just cropping and a tiny amount of sharpening for post-production.
