Photo of the Week 2021-07-05

Wildflower season has shifted from Spring to Summer on 'the Bruce'. The Yellow Lady's Slippers have given way and Wood Lily now dot the shoulders along the road on the drive into the cottage. Too, there are bunches of Perennial Sweat Pea splashing it's bright pink on green.
 
Not originally from North America, I suspect the roadside specimens have 'escaped' from local gardens on the wind, with help from birds and numerous other distribution mechanisms. Native or not, one cannot help but be intrigued by their colourful uniquely shaped blossoms. I was, enough to head out with macro lens and tripod attached to the camera ...
 
Sweet Pea
The flowers of the local Sweet Peas range from deep, vibrant pink to near-white, all with those characteristic pea blossom shapes.
