This is the gill pattern of the purple mushrooms I posted yesterday. If I happen to be with someone who pulls a mushroom for ID purposes, then I will photograph the underside with no guilt, LOL. Sometimes, when walking through the forest, I'll come across a mushroom that has either been knocked over or pulled by someone and so take a photo or two. The colour of this mushroom was amazing. Thanks to Doug (dougwaylett) and Ron (Ron Wolf) for the ID and extra information : )

I liked the soft colours of both the flower cluster and the bokeh in this image : ) This is Early Yellow Locoweed, a native wildflower which blooms May to June on prairie grassland, dry hillsides and roadsides. It is a member of the Pea family.

This is one of our small, wild Orchids, Striped Coralroot. It is a native plant and grows in open woods. Grows 15-40 cm tall, June-July. Always a good feeling when we come across a few clumps of this attractive plant.
