It's been fun getting out and capturing flowers again after our long winter. The above columbine was found in a city flower bed in Wisconsin, which just goes to show that you have to keep your eyes open. My thanks goes out to the city of Algoma as I spent almost an hour capturing images of several colors of columbines as well as poppies.
The above image of a lady slipper, was something I was quite excited to find. In five years of capturing wild flowers, this is my first exposure to this beautiful little gal. They are about the size of a quarter and very easy to miss, in fact I drove by them the first time around. Needless to say I had a blast capturing their images and now that I know where to look, I'll be back.
The above image of a solomon's seal was inspired by my friend Dan Ruf at www.danielruf.typepad.com . I've been trying to capture this lily at Lost Island Lake for a couple years now but was never happy with how it turned out, until now. The bee had perfect timing. I hope you've enjoyed this weeks images and I appreciate your stopping by, have a great week.
Great work, Mike. I especially like the first one with the incredible background. Keep working that ol' camera!
