On a range health checking trip at the Cypress Hills in Alberta, Canada on August 6, 2014, I found this busy lovely bumblebee doing some nectar-collecting from a Gaillardia or Blanket Flower (Gaillardia aristrada) and just had to talk a shot of it. Taken with my Canon Rebel XS DSLR, Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 macro lens.
Taken on August 23, 2013, with my old Canon Rebel XS DSLR.
Yet another Pulsatilla nuttalliana (Prairie Crocus) blooms, taken at the University of Alberta’s Roy Berg Research Ranch near Kinsella, Alberta, Canada with my ancient iPhone 4S on May 20, 2014.
Raindrops on spring crocuses (Pulsatilla nuttalliana) are one of my favourite things.
Just the way the hairs catch the droplets and hold them there for just a little while is something quite beautiful.
Photographed at J.J. Collett Natural Area on April 30, 2017, with (and this may come as a shock) my old Canon Rebel XS DSLR, Canon EF 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens attached. One has to stand a fair distance away just to get close-up shots of these little flowers with a telephoto lens, let me tell you!
