Britannia Conservation Area

| American Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) Britannia Conservation Area, Mud Lake, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. |
Hiking the Britannia Conservation Area with my new camera gear seems I am still a professional squirrel photographer. It has been some time since I upgraded my camera gear so this time I went all out purchasing a Canon EOS R7 and two macro lenses a 35 and a 100. All packed away in a brand new camera backpack that is so comfortable and nice a snug.

Just a few flowers from my father's garden using the 100 macro lens. This weekend I plan to photograph wild orchids in the Marlborough Forest here in Ottawa, it is the largest Conservation Area that our city has. Anyways back to Mud Lake, where I photographed a Giant Swallowtail for the first time. I have photographed the caterpillar before at Shirleys Bay but the adult form has always fluttered away from me when I came across them in the wild. Not the best quality of captures but satisfactory for the record, the actual tail of the butterfly is a little bit ragged hence the selection of angles I chose for the butterfly. It is North America's largest butterfly and it is very rare to find one at rest so I consider myself so very lucky to capture this adult.
