Pasque Flowers

I was wandering around in the badlands of the Red Deer River Valley in early May of 2022.  Mostly I was trying to shoot some of the badland formations in Black and White.  When I found these flowers blooming I decided they were worthy of a color shot.  These are Prairie Crocus', also known as Pasque Flowers.  I believe they are the provincial flower of Manitoba.  They are very early bloomers and sometimes can be found pushing up through a late spring snow.  I shot this on Kodak Ektar 100 color negative film with my Ebony SV45TE 4" x 5" view camera.  I used a 125mm lens with no filter.
