Here are some photos. My favorite stream in the pines. This was this morning, far upstream.
This is green Woodland Orchid. They love wet spots.
Round Sundew on the edge of the water.
Short-leaved milkwort.
Turks Cap Lily. Gotta shoot one every year. This one was especially handsome and large. Size of a good coffee cup.
Think these anthers are big enough? The pollen is the size of marbles (just kidding).
Buddy found a cedar tree chair next to the stream.
White fringed orchid. They seem to be scarce in the transition zone this year. This was in the cold sphagnum bog.
Detail..
Lance-leaved sabatia.
Guy, I figured out a great tripod. Take your stick and put it in front of the plant and rest one end on your knee and the other end on something as high as the subject. Then, rest your camera hand on the stick and shoot. It works even better if you have two things to rest the stick on and you can use both hands on the camera. I backed up on the below photo just to show you the set up.
