Petal and buds

11 Apr 2010 218
Just a close-up of part of a petal and buds from my Orange Star plant, using my little Raynox DCR-250 lens. Just liked the colours and shapes. Not the most inspiring images today - been busy all day, but wanted to still post my usual daily shots. Was out all morning (maybe three and a half hours) walking at Carburn Park. We saw a Merlin, and we enjoyed watching a little Black-capped Chickadee dive into a small cavity and then a while later, he appeared at the opening with a mouthful of wood chips, LOL. We also watched a Red-breasted Nuthatch, upside-down, excavating a cavity ready for nesting time. Saw a couple of White-tailed Deer and there were also four (?) Wood Ducks the far side of the Lagoon. Called in at Fish Creek Park on the way home. Something like -8C this morning ... brrr... so back to thick winter jacket, fleece jacket, long-johns and two pairs of mitts.
