... is upon us. It's timing is a little off kilter this year. I would have expected to see more flowers blooming by now, yet at the same time some seem to be finishing already, a little early.
I've grown a little frustrated by my switch over to RAW from JPG, as it has added a lot of time for me to get photos from camera to blog. I'm quite happy with the results but my Model-T desktop isn't keeping up with the demands. I suspect I ask it to do too much at the same time. But enough whining, on to some flower pictures, and that is mostly what you'll get, very little narrative. All of these flowers shots were taken at First Bridge.
Arctic Dryad - one of my favourite flowers for its subtle beauty.
Another Arctic Dryad photo, this one shows how many of these flowers are already fading.
Arctic Poppy.
Arctic Poppy are predominately yellow. On rare occasions there are white ones. First Bridge has always been a reliable place for me to find the white Arctic Poppy (same species - just a colour variant). This is one of several that we found.
This gorgeous little flower is unknown to me, I've never seen before and so far have been unable to figure what it is. With the four petals I'm wondering if it belongs in the mustard family. It was found on gravel of the shoulder of the road. The other sprays of purple flowers we found were the waning Purple Saxifrage, Moss Campion not yet peaking, and the very beginning of River Beauty (Dwarf Fireweed). If anyone knows what this is though I'd appreciate knowing.
More Arctic Dryad, two takes on the same flowers.
And just in case you haven't had your RDA of cute yet today... Puppies!
Bonus points to whoever can find Leah and Hilary in one of these photos.
