Oops, very little was caught in focus in this image, but I wanted to show the circle of tiny green hearts and the two insects that I captured inside this small wildflower. This is a supermacro shot of a single White Camas flower, taken out at Cobble Flats, Kananaskis, off Elbow Falls Trail. Can you believe I didn't notice the tiny blue insect when I was actually trying to take the photo? I was too concerned with trying to keep the flower within my viewfinder - a dull and windy day.

This greenish white flower grows in a flower cluster, and each flower is 14-20 mm (roughly half to three-quarters of an inch) wide. A native plant that grows in dry to moist meadows and open woods, blooming June-July.

Got home about an hour ago, after a lovely (though a little too warm for me) day botanizing part of the beautiful land belonging to Angela Cumberland and Patrick Brennan. This lies to the north west of the city and was a mix of forest, open meadows and a "bog". This family very generously supplied a delicious Chili and salad lunch for us, too! What an absolute treat - and many thanks from all of us!! Hope you will find the eventual list of flora and fauna observed today interesting and useful : ) Thanks so much for allowing us to explore your property!

Oh, and on the way home, we stopped in Cochrane for one of their famous ice-creams ; )
