Wild Orchids /Today's Flowers

The disappearing showy lady slipper (Cypripedium reginae) in the wild


...but I've found a small patch growing in East Gwillimbury.

One reason they are becoming rare is because they do NOT transplant well. Another is that subdivisions, roads or parking lots now cover their habitat.

Looking Down On Me/ Camera Critters

Curious about "Camera Girl"

I climbed a high bank to capture a handsome farm beneath picturesque clouds. In the field in front of the barn stood a herd of cows, thoroughly unimpressed by me and my camera. Or so I thought. I clicked the shutter two or three times then climbed back down the hill, looked back up and there they were...all in a line, peering over the fence at me.
