Wild Calypso Orchid


My descriptions for these four photos have disappeared for some strange reason, so will write them again. Yesterday, five of us squeezed into one car and went to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park for the afternoon. Our weather included torrential rain, thunder, lightning, hail and even a bit of snow in some areas, LOL!! We brave souls still had such a great walk through the dense forest there, and I was thrilled to see my very first wild Calypso Orchid! The light was atrocious deep within the woods, so I ended up deleting most of my 93 photos : ). Will post this really bad image, and hopefully I will sometime get the chance to go back there when the sun is shining. These small Orchids are very dainty and fragile and such a pretty colour. We were lucky enough to see a Three-toed Woodpecker there and also a Varied Thrush (which I saw more as a dark silhouette moving in the distant trees). I have longed to see a Varied Thrush the last few years, so it was a thrill just knowing that there was one there. Thanks, David, for finding my very first one!
