Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: White Water Crowfoot

This is just a very small flower in reality - how misleading macro shots are : ) Sorry to those of you who are totally confused and mislead by all my macro shots, LOL, but I just HAVE to take photos like that - that's what I love! Looks like the larva of something crawling over the petal? Seen on 3rd September, growing on wet mud at Bragg Creek Natural Area, east of the Kananaskis boundary.

My photos of this wild aquatic plant are usually much more distant ones. However, these flowers were growing closer to the edge at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail, Kananaskis. This plant belongs to the Crowfoot or Buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. It is aquatic to semi-aquatic, growing in slow-moving water and ponds. The species name "aquatilis" means "growing in water".
