Back later .........

This was one of the photos I took (that turned out OK!) up in the mountains yesterday, on a trip to the location near Mt. Lorette, where the Golden Eagles fly during migration. All you see are small specks in the sky, flying just above the mountain peaks. Fascinating, but no good for photos of course. Some people did see several Eagles through a scope, but I was busy wandering nearby, looking for something big enough to photograph : )

Macro shot of the beautiful Star-flowered Solomon's Seal flowers, taken in Weaselhead on 14th June. This beautiful, native wildflower belongs to the Lily Family (Liliaceae). Flowers, up to 6 mm wide, are white and star-shaped (have six petals). The flowers form a loose group at the end of a leafy stem. Berries are greenish with dark stripes, then turn red, then nearly black in early fall. Bears are very fond of these berries. Star-flowered Solomon's seal grows in woodlands, open meadows, and shores of sandy marshes. plantwatch.fanweb.ca/plant-information/star-flowered-solo...
