last time I was in Toronto...

Been outdoors for some shooting and stumbled across this litlle blossom. I took a closup image and the light behind the blossom did the job very well. I`ve been once again impressed about the nature of mother earth!

Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Beautiful Early Marsh-orchid (Dachtylorhiza incarnata subsp. incarnata). The genus name Dachtylorhiza means finger-lobed tubers in Greek (‘dactylos’ – finger, ‘rhiza’ – root) with reference to its palmately divided (2-5 lobes) tubers; while ‘incarnata’ in Latin means ‘to make into flesh’. So, the two scientific names together could sound quite poetic: ‘The flesh raised from roots’. Taken at Clattinger Farm, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, Wiltshire, England.

I was a pic taking fool today.

Enjoy!

The Song

After so many days of dense fog, cold wind and then again fog and then again fog... With no sun, no snow... I just had to post something bright and sunny.

Borboleta Closeup

*asahi pentax super takumar 50mm f1.4*

I left my lawn run wild for "no mow May" and a fair few of these popped up. Lady's smock is another label - I love wildflower names.

I used my "new" used EF40mm f2.8 and my first impressions are - it's a cracker! Also my first post using the Raynox closeup thingy.
