Semi-welcome Guest

I discovered this foxglove in one of my flower beds this spring and decided to leave it there, even though it's an invasive in this area, and just keep it dead headed to prevent seed spread.  In our climate, it's not particularly dangerous as it mostly invades waste spaces such as clear cuts and roadsides and is shaded out as new growth comes in.

I was sitting in the back yard to photograph birds this morning and notices how nicely the early morning light worked with this flower and the garage wall background, so I took a few frames with my birding lens and this is the result.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 Contemporary @ 562 mm, tripod with ball head and Wimberley Sidekick, f/9, 1/200, iso 320, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.  Processing in LR & PS CC.  Topaz Detail on the flower.  Full frame.  Taken at 5:54 am.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,
