Hi Darryl, (sorry if I'm misspelling your name)

Thanks very much for sending me the link! I'll go check out the bug clothing.
How was Algonquin? Did you find the flowers you were looking for?

Celia

I think most of the wild flowers are still to come as I did not see any White Trillium at all. I did find Painted Trillium and some Red Trillum. I think the Reds were nearly finished as they looked in poor shape. I found only one that was not ragged or hanging limply.

I also saw four moose and Maureen and Chris.

The black flies are just getting started. They were very active in wooded areas.

Nice shot of the little guy Mike. Glad you enjoyed the park. We were there until about 9pm so you could have met up with us.
Here are a few from that day:

Just before getting to the park

Thanks for organizing the event Tim! We had a great day and my parents enjoyed the park/birds too!
