    This image takes me right back to flipping through old seed and plant catalogues—you know, the ones that felt like finding a treasure chest of color. This is a scan of a vintage cover, likely from the seed house C. Frikart Söhne, featuring a lush, watercolor painting that just bursts with summer joy.

  2. The saga of the broken auto macro lens continues but hopefully will be sorted soon. I am making do with the little manual portrait lens. It is bright and resolves beautifully. Most important, it doesn't weigh a ton.

    The problem is that I have to have it open to nail the focus but because it is open, the depth of field is very shallow.

    For identification, that isn't necessarily a huge problem.

    So here is a leafcutter bee. There are lots on the forest of knapweed on my raised bed wildflower meadow.

  3. pics in collage cont- Top right and bottom left are Wild Blue Flax / Linum lewisii ; my plants are from British Columbia seed, but I think Alberta natives are the same species (none in my immediate area). Behind in lower left are a Castilleja (this one also from B.C.) and Erigeron caespitosus from the montane zone west of here.
