For those not sure what I am talking about, here is a photo I took this morning (in McCarthy Woods) of two trout lilies (Erythronium americanum) growing side-by-side that have different anther colours (red versus yellow).

Trout lily survey
Why are the anther colours different in trout lilies? This might be a question that enters your mind every spring if you enjoy exploring forests and watching ephemeral plants flower before the canopy closes over and the presence of biting insects dissuades you from entering the forest.

Spring fauna and flora at McCarthy Woods
I went to McCarthy Woods today to practice UV photography on the flowers. I am still missing the 40.5 to 48 step-up adapter ring, so handholding the filter in front of the camera lens is not ideal. Plus, there may be focus shift that I need to adjust once the adapter ring arrives. While photographing the flowers, I saw many interested things that I photographed with my E-M1.
The first was this Pileated Woodpecker (Hylatomus pileatus) pecking a fallen tree.
