I originally posted this many years ago (in 2005) and looking at it now I could make it better. I reprocessed it, darkening some slightly out of focus leaves and fixing a few others, while of course, making a better monochrome image.
I am much more please with this version.

The Tiny Ram's Head Lady Slipper
The is the second of two Ram’s Head Lady Slippers I am posting. We were lucky that these were growing under a tree near the trail where we were able to access them without disturbing the environment they were growing in. How small is small? Take a look at this.

Pink Lady Slipper
Scott and I took a trip up to the Bruce Peninsula again last year. We had pretty poor weather but managed to get some good shots nonetheless. This is one of them.

This is a dragon fly resting on a piece of Birdsfoot Trefoil. Photographed early in the morning, the dragonfly and flower are still covered in dew. It is hard to see in this size, but I am picking up reflections of the sky in the dew drops.
This photo was obviously not shot recently 
I will be mixing recent photos along with photos from last year that did not get post, though should have during my bouts of non posting. Feel free to comment on some of the photos.

Scott found this Fritillary one morning late last summer while out shooting. With it’s wings closed we could see he was a little beaten up. It wasn’t until he had warmed up enough to spread his wings that I saw just how bad he really was.
The second butterfly Scott found was in much better shape.
Another Grass Pink Orchid

This a macro photo of a wood lily
Another shot similiar to yesterday’s, this photo is a different composition. I like this one better though.
A pair of Yellow Lady Slipper orchids sit nestled in a wooded area.
Like yesterdays, I like the blue in this photos. I think that it compliments the yellow of the orchids.
Another photograph of two Yellow Lady Slipper orchids I photographed a couple weeks ago on the Bruce Peninsula. I don’t remember what was behind to give it the blue tint to the shadows but I do like the results.

This is the last of the Cally Lily shots I am posting. Tomorrow, something different.

It’s been a while since I have posted. The absence has been a combination of things, vacation, busy with the business, other priorities and an issue with my hosting provider and problems with the software I had been using for the blog, Movable Type. I still believe that it is the best software for what I was doing but because the hosting company didn’t work with it well I have had to change.
I am now using WordPress. I have been trying to get used to it and get the site set up the way I want, but I find it is not as customizable as Moveable Type. I will be posting more often though!
