Purple Pitcher Plants on Astoria Hillside

by Blake Rice

Dozens of vibrant purple pitcher plants rise from the damp earth of a hillside near Astoria, New York. Late afternoon sun cuts through a brief, dry shower, illuminating the waxy surfaces of the carnivorous flora. Water droplets rest on the curved rims, catching the light in sharp, clear highlights against the deep violet hues. The perspective stays low, looking up from the ground level to reveal the towering, disciplined arrangement of the bog. Rain streaks hang in the air, blurring the distant background while keeping the foreground textures crisp. The plants stand tall and still, their smooth, glossy interiors reflecting the pale sky above the wet soil.
