Ten thousand saw I at a glance

It is hard for me to realize how long it has been between entries. 2000+ photos later and I have a mission to communicate some observations I made of trilliums in Scout Valley. The quote is from a
poem by William Wordsworth entitled "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

Now I am anything but a poet. However, I did see close to 10,000 trilliums, maybe not in a single glance but over an interval of an hour  and a hillside. The following shows their state of blooming this year.

More or less: all the whites are trilliums. (There were a few other species with white flowers but not enough to alter the statistics - I haven't showed all the plants.

Happy New Year, World

No fireworks here in Ca-land but one is sliding all over in DE-land. And some friends there are "blue". What does this all mean?

Glad you asked!

Forgive the repetition - the juveniles have the yellow beaks

Not really "blau" - it was a "guten Rutsch" into the new year, maybe?

Now we are getting some evidence for liquid. Can you identify the  3 in the following scene?

Which one is the liquid "bread"?

This something else:

Colouirful and maybe even healthy? Maybe? Just a little?

I am to blame:

Sorry about that - well maybe not.

Thanksgiving/Erntedankfest - Part I Red, white and green

It is Autumn and the cours are changing - a happy if not nostalgic time of year with reflections coming in Part II. For now I want to establish the nature of the Canadian flag, the maple leaf.

First the provincial flag of Ontario:

Do you see the green and red? Here it is in 1 leaf!

And now 6 months away, green and white:

I have only seen these mutations in 1 area. Think I'll stop now and return with some reflections.
