Canada Violet. (Viola Canadensis)
According to “Wild About Flowers”, an organization specializing in Alberta wild flowers, that is the official name of these little gems.
For just a couple of months in spring, they can be found in most shady woodlands, just as I found them in Glenmore Park, Calgary, Alberta.
This photograph has the dubious honour of being the first posted from a change of photographic equipment, if you're interested. My Canon cameras are now gone alltogether with all the lenses I had. Nothing wrong with the Canon gear at all. No, not bigger and better, just the opposite actually as I step over to Micro Four Thirds format, at less than half the weight!
