Flowers and other Flora

The bloom of the "Corpse Flower" was a bust, so the outer part was cut off to reveal what was inside. The hope is that the flowers will mature and pollen can be harvested. This was available for view to the general public for just over 2 days before the plant was moved back to the greenhouses.

An old 7D file from 2010

Not sure why but clicking on it does it more justice than just viewing the thumb (which seems to come across as a bit dark)

Nice picture! You're quite right, clicking on it does do it considerably more justice. :)
Thank you
Our Alberta autumns may seem drab and colorless compared to the spectacular fall foliage you see in the eastern parts of Canada, but we do have our moments

The beginning of fall foliage display has come in Eastern Sierra, CA... and it will be my first year of capturing fall color in Eastern Sierra... Hoping that weather will support me since this is the first year of photographing fall color...

Second and third images are not from Eastern Sierra. My wife and kids were in a fast food restaurant, I was out in the parking lot with my camera playing around...

Note: Second and third were shot with cheap zeikos (+6 in this case) close up filters, which i had gotten a whole set of 4 for $4... Cannot compare to my 100mm f/2.8 but it is sure fun to play around with...
