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 17, 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 waterscapes along Sixteen Mile Creek. Depending on conditions we may
try creating a time lapse sequence for those interested.

Saturday
April 30, 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.

some great nature images and sharing.
