The spring rush....

Sorry I haven't had time to post! This time of year is truly crazy for me, with so many things to photograph - breeding birds, wildflowers and landscapes with fresh green foliage.... a great dilemna!

This is one of the best years I've seen for Indian Paintbrush. There are amazing patches of them along the sides of the highway up here on the Bruce Peninsula. I find them to be one of the most photogenic flower species.

Hope you're having a great spring!
cheers,

  1. I agree Ethan. I've spent the last 2 weekends in Tobermory and I couldn't believe how much yellow lady slipper has appeared along the roads and on the trails? Is it normally this abundant? I'm fairly new to the Bruce area, living here about a year now and I absolutely love it. What a surprise it was to sit down in the theatre at the new visitor centre in Tobermory and see you on the screen taking me on a beautiful tour of the area.

  2. I really wish we had paintbrush around my neck of the woods, I really would like to photograph them more.

  3. Kyle, Yellow Lady's Slippers are abundant up here - I would guess they're in the 10s of thousands during the first week of june.

    Mark, I'm surprised they aren't over in Michigan around your area... it's a very common species here. You should make a trip to the Bruce sometime around the first week of June, typically the peak for them.

    cheers,
