Bloodroot

Bloodroot is an early spring bloom in the Adirondacks.  They generally grow in bunches.  They also have a unique quirk in that they open up in lots of sunlight.  If you have a gray, dreary day, you'll often find many of these blooms closed up. 

It was a bright day when I came across this plant.  I used a diffuser to cut back on the harsh light.  I metered the white and overexposed a stop and a third.
