Sunny day Sunday Buttercup and Lady Slipper.

It's such a sunny day here in my living room. Especially since in the past few weeks the giant invasive Burning bushes were cut down. They bracketed the sliders and really blocked the view. Which was fabulous before but now it's even better in a cosy pond-meadow-woods-nice-sky sort of way.

Last weekend was spent visiting B and W up north. B and I went for a small hike in a conserved fen/bog. They've put in a boardwalk so one can wander along looking at various plants. This time of year the Showy Lady Slippers are everywhere along the trail. There are also a few Buttercups sprinkled amongst the ferns. On a sunny day the light is amazing there. There are also various orchids. I'm not very pleased with the Lady Slipper photo; so much of the time I take flower shots the results are rather meh. Oh well, something that works better will be a goal and a process. I do like the Buttercup photo more. I have no idea what the reddish one is.
