Supermacro shot of a teeny Early Coralroot flower. This is an easily-overlooked wild Orchid, but what a glorious surprise to those who take a close look at an individual flower. Barely visible without a hand lens or camera, but so pretty when seen as a macro shot. Photographed in Weaselhead on June 14th. Posting really early this morning as, all being well, I will be out on a very long day trip way south of the city, to explore the flora and fauna of Plateau Mountain. Later: had a lovely day examining the flora and fauna of Plateau Mountain, though an 11-hour day is a long day, even more so as I have such poor endurance these days! It's about a two and a half hour drive there (I didn't drive, but many thanks, Arnold!). These long, warm days of fresh air and exercise totally knock me out, lol! Those who knew Jim Dubois (Garnite), personally or through Flickr, are hoping to raise enough money to pay for a memorial bench in the Campbell River area, B.C.. This would be a perfect tribute to this kind, humorous, good man, who did so much towards educating about and protecting the environment. www.flickr.com/groups/1655195@N20/discuss/72157627099416364/
