Calypso Orchid

I was happy to come across some of these beautiful little Calypso Orchids on June 10th, when I drove out west of Calgary to Maclean Pond, Kananaskis, off Elbow Falls Trail. They are such exquisite wildflowers! Unfortunately, a single flowerhead doesn't quite fit into a macro photo, but I have to balance that with a blurred background.

Another hour, and I'm off to a full day of botanizing, north west of Calgary. I'm uploading my photos at an unearthly hour this morning, before 6:00 a.m., as I have to continue working on several photo projects /requests this evening.

Later evening: I'm having problems with Flickr and Internet Explorer, grrr....Giving up for now.
