I am planning on going to Shorthills PP on Saturday May 2 to shoot wild flowers and water scenes. Things are really starting to green-up so the steams and waterscapes are beginning to get interesting. I will start at the Roland Rd entrance and may venture around to Wylie Rd. I am planning on going rain or shine and will start out on the trail at 7:00 am. I know its a bit early but that is when the light is better. Anyone interested in joining me is welcome to tag along. If you are planning to come please send me an email so that I wait for you before heading out on the trail.

Spring Wildflowers Outings – April 2015
It’s that time of the year
again when spring Wildflowers are starting to emerge from the long winter
sleep. You are welcome to join me in search of spring beauties in local known
locations with possible opportunities to add to your Nature-Botany and
Nature-General portfolios.
The following is our
intended schedule which may be subject to change depending upon what is
reported to be blooming … when and where:
Sunday April 12, 2015 – Louth Conservation Area. Meet at the Staff Rd. Parking Lot at 8:00 am. It may
be a bit early in the season however if the flowers aren't cooperating we will
search out forest scenes and try some long exposure water-scapes along Sixteen
Mile Creek. Depending on conditions we may try creating a time lapse sequence for
those interested.

Saturday April 18, 2015 - Shorthills Provincial
Park . Meet at the Rolland Rd. entrance at 8:00 am. Always a
great spot for early spring wildflowers and of course water scenes.

Saturday
April 25, 2015 – Woodend Conservation Area. Meet at the parking lot off of Taylor Rd. at 8:00 am. Always a great spot
for early spring wildflowers and of course water scenes. Great Hiking trails meander through the meadow and escarpment
forest and slope. The forest community is composed largely of hardwood species
with scattered representatives of Carolinian species such as black cherry,
black oak and paw paw.
This area is a perfect venue for passerine birds, and a historic
limestone kiln reminds of this historic site’s link to the past.
For those interested in trying their hand at making Infrared
images using a converted digital camera, I will have a few converted infrared
Nikon camera bodies on hand. Bring your own lens and a CF memory card.
NOTE: There is a notice posted
by the NPCA that Woodend Conservation Area will
have temporary blocked trails and limited usage for the immediate and
indefinite future while construction of new facilities is being completed. We will monitor this and possibly change the
venue to another location.

If you are planning on joining us,

Looking forward to making some great
nature images and sharing.
