afternoon trillium patch

Every spring the trillium of Victoria Woods bloom in a magnificent patch extending on either side of the trail. There are Red Trillium sprinkled amongst the mostly white Provincial flower of Ontario.

This is a favoured location to enjoy and celebrate the true arrival of spring.

trillium patch in sunlight

A favourite place for a morning walk once spring has arrived ... Victoria Woods and the trails through the trillium.

It's wonderfully peaceful and refreshing to walk surrounded by the fresh green leaves and brilliant white flowers dotted here and there with their burgundy brethren. They spread across the rich soil in large swaths as readily as singles sprout in the crook of a tree root. When morning sun crests the horizon and begins to spill through still leafless trees and onto the forest floor, it comes alive.

Every year, for for some time now, I have made it a point to go and experience the trillium bloom and try to capture the fresh, clean feel in images.

repatriation

With spring's arrival here in Southern Ontario, it seems to have taken a while for the trees to begin leafing out ... a time I have anxiously been waiting for so I could get out with my Infrared (IR) converted M3 to make some B&W IR images.

Infrared BW brings out the fresh green of new growth, giving an ethereal feel not easily simulated in post processing.

Before heading to Einsteins Café to remove my prints from the GPG installation (March-April '17), I headed over to Victoria Woods where a spring morning walk is always a great way to start the day ... with cameras of course ;-)

The Trilliums were not quite out fully and Trout Lillies were plentiful but also not fully in bloom ... perhaps a wander before work in the coming week .... Ahhhhh

Spring is a wonderful time to get out in the woods in Southern Ontario ... if you can find spots the mosquitoes haven't
;-)

I'll be starting a week of vacation and looking to scratch the photographic itch while taking advantage of the down time. I have plans to hike a few trails and catch some of the orchids on the Bruce if they are are out yet.

Enjoy your week !
