11.20.2019 Wayback Wednesday…A bit of self-indulgence

I couldn’t do Wordless because I do want to say a bit.  This is probably my favorite of all my flower images.  Of course, it is also my favorite flower. For years it was part of my Gravatar but I … Continue reading

05.27.2019 Three more of the loverlies

Unlike the claim I made for Atherton Brook images, I won’t say these are the last.  They are pretty hard to resist and there is always something a little different.  Subtleties don’t always get notice though. Two heads are better … Continue reading

05.25.2019 Thrillium

These are the most beautiful of our spring wildflowers, at least according to me.  I love the Lady’s Slippers and look forward to them every year, but these are tops. It’s a challenge, after photographing dozens of these at least, … Continue reading

05.23.2016 Thrillya with some Trillia

Quadrillium, thrillium…why not thrillya and trillia? Unless something really special presents itself, this will be the last for 2016. One reason I like photographing these so much is the variability of the petal edges. This one really appealed for its … Continue reading

05.17.2016 Quadrillium undulatum

As I checked out my favorite spot for trilliums and lady’s slippers, I found something unusual as I mentioned yesterday. Actually, it is a Trillium undulatum (Painted Trillium) as you probably recognize.  But with an extra leaf, sepal and petal. … Continue reading

5/18/2015 Painted Trilliums 2015

These are from two weekends…one a week ago and one yesterday.  If I am fortunate there may be more, but I won’t get out again with the camera until Saturday next.  But by then it may well be lady’s slipper … Continue reading

05.19.2014 Another Painted Trillium but from a different location.

I’m not sure if this is the last…maybe there will be more.  It is from a different location…I’ve not made images there before…but it is just a half mile from yesterday’s spot.  Same road, different tract of land. I am … Continue reading

05.18.2014 The Aforementioned PTs

I visited two locations on Saturday looking for the Painted Trilliums.  The first was in Pelham along the Cadwell Memorial Forest trail where I photographed this one a few years back…I’m sure Andrew remembers it.  After two days of rain, … Continue reading

11.16.2013 Obsession

I love Painted Trilliums.  Common knowledge for many of you who have known me for a little while and even shared, I believe, by our Hong Kong correspondent.  But as gorgeous is their coloring, the deep magenta contrasting with the … Continue reading
