Photo of the Week 2013-05-20

Every where you look, the landscape is flush with the greens of spring.

While out photographing in Victoria Woods recently, I found the trilliums already past their peak with their blooms starting to show signs of distress. Ostrich ferns though, were unfurling and will soon be fully open to shade sections of the forest floor. Jack-in-the-Pulpit were as plentiful as I have ever seen them.

After spending considerable time hunched over or on hands and knees setting up for close up images of this new growth on the forest floor, it was a simple scene at the edge of a pond that drew me down to capture the serenity.
