Nice one Bob! It looks like there is still time left Hawkin since it is not completely developed. Get your motor running!

FANTASTIC! That's one I've never encountered before.
Without giving away a location, is this blooming in The Pines now?
I'm still waiting on the wife to free up a chunk of the income tax refund so I can some kind of macro capable lens for the newer camera

Yes, and you should see blooms for awhile. This plant seems to grow (at least in our area) just in the sphagnum area (just beyond the transistion zone) along our creeks. In other words, imagine you are walking down the hill from the road into the cedar zone along Four Mile Branch in your neck of the woods. You leave the huckleberry and other heaths behind and look down and suddenly see sphagum, interspersed with fallen gum leaves and pine needles. Look really close. These are only about 6" high.

The only lens I have for it now is the Canon 100-400 IS L series tele zoom.
I don't think one of those macro "filter" types would be a good system with that lens.
I really do need a devoted macro and a wide -> short tele zoom.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Works just fine, I use it on my 80-400VR and my 70-200VR Nikons. That's what it was designed for, it gives you great flexibility, but to each their own.
