The forecast said that it would rain all day and some of it heavy, so I gave up the idea of dragging around the big camera. Instead, I manufactured a rainjacket for the G10, couldn’t go out without any camera at all…

We had good day out searching for flowers. I learned two new places for lady’s slippers, one of them quite different from my ”regular” slipper spot so I think I’ll do my lady’s slipper photography there next year. The place was also home for some butterfly orchids, will take another week before they are in bloom so I’ve booked a visit there next weekend.

Another flower I have to photograph next weekend is the wild rosemary (Rhododendron tomentosum). The flowers we saw today were still mostly budding.

And there’s all those orchids in my favourite place that should be in full bloom – next week. Sounds like I’ll be busy, but it’s the kind of busy that I like!
