Happy Saturday...here's where we're at here in West West, Vermont...all of these courtesy of the phone, because the Mighty Lumix (the little guy good for macros, particularly in awkward shots like underneath a flower two inches from the ground) is in Kevin's car in an airport parking lot. And the Nikon with its awesomeness is...oh, it's on my desk, but I'm lazy, so without further ado...
Maple leaves unfurling...
ahhh, the beaver pond, gradually getting bigger and bigger...
New discovery! Those fuscia party hats the gray birch wears? Turns out they're packed with leaves as well...
Must retrieve Mighty Lumix from the boy's car..
Today Today Today was the day the magnolia in the back yard went *boom*.
Saxifrage! This one deserves the Nikon. Stay tuned.
How many back-lit pictures of trillium can I take?
A lot.
And now for the side view...
Not bad for the phone...
Love the pictures and the plant ID - I'm terrible at that part of my picture taking. Thanks, a former student just turned me on to your block!
ReplyDeleteOh hey! Welcome! I'm glad you found it. I recommend Newcomb's wildflower guide. It provides a methodical way to key out species based on leaf type and shape, number of petals, etc.
