Labradors

Labrador tea is part of the Rhododendron species and grows throughout the north. It is a low growing shrub and the leaves can be harvested to make a herbal tea. I will collect the leaves from this plant and dry for the winter to make tea, as well as pick the leaves when out hunting to make tea. The flowers come out in early spring and from what I have seen are usually white flowers. However, in northern Ontario I have once run across a patch of these with purple flowers. They are a welcome sign of spring during our very short growing season. I don’t quiet have the right lens for this and will need to upgrade. I usually take landscape photos, but decided I would try my hand at macro and see what happens. Little shaky at this still, but will continue to try and see what happens. I guess my way of looking at growth by trying and experimenting with a new type of photography - see what happens.

Today's views are all from Labrador Park in Singapore. I had dropped down off the Southern Ridges to have a look around this park and all the defences that were put in to repel a Japanese invasion. They were ultimately useless because the Japanese invaded Singapore from Malaysia to the north rather than by sea as expected by the British

Picked these colorful leaves outside of our cabin door. The Labrador tea plant grows abundantly throughout our boreal forest, and has just changed into its autumn colors. The leaves measure about one inch in length, and one quarter inch across at the widest point.
Labrador Tea is native to Alaska, Canada, Greenland, northern and central Europe, northern China, Korea, and Japan. It grows in bogs, woods with peaty soils, alpine slopes, and tundra. Because it lives well in acidic soils with poor nutrient supply, it is often found in black spruce forests in the interior of Alaska.
The Labrador Effect
Back to my post from yesterday for HSoS.
First of all, I would like to thank all the lovely Flickrities for the wonderful comments on yesterday's topic - title wanted - , everyone could have been right.
In my tags I announced that there would be a second photo, actually I should have posted it the other way around, but then the story would be a lie :)
On an autumn walk I suddenly heard a noise and it was anything but heavenly. The little rascal growled violently and it sounded like this: "Don't dare to come closer, or my huge friend will hug you" :-) and indeed, there he was! I then went on quickly ;-))
Can you see it? It wasn't predictable, the Labrador Effect ;-)))
Thanks for visiting and time to watch, happy Sunday , stay healthy, all!
PS
The two dogs are very happy and live and guard on a small horse farm, with adjoining small pond, a paradise for anglers. I'm only sad myself because I couldn't stroke them.
Der Labrador Retriever besticht durch sein ausgeglichenes und besonders familienfreundliches, kinderliebes Wesen. Er ist äußerst anpassungsfähig, liebt das Wasser, ist intelligent, eifrig und begleitet sein Herrchen oder Frauchen überall hin.
