Springtime is a good time to look at wildflowers up close. Here are some examples of what we saw over the last few days:
Community Drive behind St Amants, Early Saxifrage in (as usual) moss on a rock outcrop…
closer view of the flower head:
Another Saxifrage in context …
Close up of the context ….
Carolina Spring Beauty, roadside along Hwy 522 along Grundy Lake Provincial Park …
Up close …
Trout lily up close …
Larix laricina on Community Drive:
Up close …
Red maple at Fisher Eddie’s dock (no relation to Eddie Fisher!) …
Almost make one want to emulate a field geologist or biologist with her/his hand loupe, eh?
We hope to see some of these soon:
So we are keeping our eyes up in the canopy and down in the forest floor. And we are keeping our ears alert. A good way to enjoy the spring re-awakening of life.

Hi Jessica! Good to see D & M back in town.
I am enjoying both new lenses … this Olympus 60mm (EFL=120 mm) Macro and the Leica 100-400 mm (EFL = 200 to 800 mm!) Telezoom. Both good lenses for springtime.
