This flag was waving over Del Mar race track on a May day in 2008. Background was removed in favor of black.
Flowers of the yellow flag (Iris pseudacorus) are again lining the shores. They look elegant to me.

This is a shining example of how my laziness ruins many a potentially great picture. Here I am, carrying not only my D50 with the 12-24 screwed on but also three (!) other lenses. I see this great reflection, take a picture, realize the distortion ruins it but can't be bothered to switch to a 35 or 50mm lens. Jeez. And now, of course, I'm sorry...
(ok it didn't help that it was freezing cold with an incredibly strong and chilly easterly breeze...but still!)
Yes, I love my own country very much, but I must admit that I sometimes wonder if I was a Canadian in a previous life...
I have only been to one of your fair provinces (so far!), but I absolutely fell in love with it! (and I am planning many more trips to other provinces soon!)
I have some great Canadian friends, and a deep and abiding love/obsession for the national sport, I know the theme song to HNIC, I love the outdoors, I speak a bit of French, I enjoy Margaret Atwood novels, know the words to many Barenaked Ladies and Bedouin Soundclash songs, and I knit - that's pretty darn close to being official, right? :)
Happy Canada Day!
UK & Jersey flags for 7DOS b&w. (I adjusted contrast but still don't like the b&w version compared with the coloured one.)

Good morning. Sorry for running so late today, but I got sidetracked uploading and reviewing photos I took yesterday while on a field trip in search of butterflies. Which brings me to these two photos of wild Iris known as Blue Flag (Iris virginica) that I photographed along the edge of a small pond I stopped at on my last leg of the trip to look for dragonflies.
Strangely I almost didn't photograph these flowers as I just about had it with bug bites and the only lens I had with me was my 75-300mm telephoto. But these beautiful wild Irises caught my eye and I couldn't resist taking a few quick shots before calling it a day and heading home. Now I'm glad I did.
Thank you for visiting...and I hope you have a truly great day.
