Hi All;

I've uploaded photos from a recent trip to Ontario.   The photos are 
mostly a mixture of birds and wildflowers.  The URL is here:

http://tinyurl.com/ncj96f

The links to the four albums are on the left side of the page.

With the assistance of several correspondents, especially Joan 
Czapalay, I've placed tentative IDs on the five violet photos:

#1- LeConte's Violet (Viola affinis)
#2- Common Blue Violet (Viola papilionacea)
#3- Smooth Yellow Violet (Viola pensylvanica)
#4- Sweet White Violet (Viola blanda)
#5- Birdsfoot Violet ( Viola pedata)

I also spent some time with Newcomb's Wildflower guide, and various 
internet resources.   Violets are a more difficult group than I had 
imagined.   The ID for #4 is likely a bit shaky, and perhaps that for 
#2 as well.

Cheers,

Blake
