Last June, after my Churchill trip, I spent a day driving around the woods and marshes east of Winnipeg. I love marshes and fens.
The Blue Flag Irises (Iris versicolor) were blooming (irises are my favourite garden flower)
There are bugs on these flowers, wonder what they are.
A Large Yellow Lady`s Slipper (Cypripedium pubescens var. pubescens). Another wild flower I am always delighted to find.
Some Yellow Pond-lily (Nuphar variegatum) pads with a flower bud
Two Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) toms....who were displaying and putting on a bit of a performance, until we got close. I never have the `right` lens on my DSLR.
Oh well, it is always fun to see these big, rather ugly-yet-handsome birds.
