Pelee Island Silver Maple Forest - Acer saccharinum - Fish Point Provincial Nature Reserve
Back north from the bare and windswept tip of Fish Point there is a beautiful forest of mature Silver Maple. In the wetter portions of the woods along McCormick Road the standing water is past knee deep and a nest box program is attracting breeding Prothonotary Warblers.
I've seen people take this type of photo before, shooting straight up towards the canopy. This first effort of my own made me surprisingly happy; I think it works because the leaves have just broken out of their buds, leaving lots of contrasty sky visible. I will look for similar scenes in the future.
