Erythronium grandiflorum

Yellow glacier lily from Manning Provincial Park last weekend. It started to snow while I was taking this photograph, so I was taking pictures quickly and without my usual tripod. I wasn't too keen on being caught at the top of the mountain with an icy downhill road (and no one else likely to venture up the side of the mountain that afternoon / evening), so I didn't spend as much time there as I would have liked.

Hello Joanne from Georgian Bay - I think you might be pleased to know that a reproduction of Arthur Lismer's “A September Gale” from Georgian Bay (1921) is on the wall above my computer at home (and my initial attempt at capturing a similar white pine as in the painting, albeit from Lake of the Woods, is here).
