Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: P1170578 FZ18

My descriptions disappeared under this and the previous three photos. They were there and then they simply vanished later! Yesterday, five of us squeezed into one small car and went to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park for the afternoon. Our weather included torrential rain, thunder, lightning, hail and even a bit of snow in some areas, LOL!! We brave souls still had such an interesting and fun walk through the dense forest there, trudging through puddles and mud, and I was thrilled to see my very first wild Calypso Orchid! I used flash for this photo (should have used it for all my photos!) but it reflected all the moisture. The light was atrocious deep within the woods, so I ended up deleting most of my 93 photos : ). We were lucky enough to see a Three-toed Woodpecker there and also a Varied Thrush (which I saw more as a dark silhouette moving in the distant trees). I have longed to see a Varied Thrush the last few years, so it was a thrill just knowing that there was one there. Thanks, David, for finding my very first one!
