Rosy Pussytoes/Antennaria rosea


Managed to "blow out" the white in this photo : ) I so rarely see the pink Pussytoes - usually I see one of the species of white Pussytoes. The Pink is so pretty, though. Seen off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66) in the area of the Ing's Mine parking lot. Taken using Raynox 250 macro lens, only partly zoomed in. These are tiny flowers in reality! That's the "problem" with macros and supermacros - they are so misleading - but I love them!
Holy smokes - fell asleep for two hours in front of the TV this evening - just woken up to find that it was 10:00 p.m. Thank goodness I didn't sleep right through an hour of blaring, alarm clock music this morning, which is what I did yesterday morning (plus another hour and a half) and consequently missed a day trip with a few friends to Bow Valley Provincial Park. The University of Calgary held their Open House at their Field Station in Kananaskis today - near Barrier Lake. Four of us went to the mountains for this and enjoyed going on a botanizing walk first on our own. Then two of us went on a Butterfly walk with a young, very knowledgeable guy named Steve, who is at the Station for part of the year. We saw several different butterflies and two or three other insects - and we made it rain, LOL! The wildflowers are just so spectacular at the moment - a joy to see so many bright orange Western Wood Lilies, for a start. Absolute food for the soul! Barb, if you happen to read this - thanks SO much for the drive today and for changing your plans and going out of your way for me. Appreciated SO much!!!
This is all interfering with being on Flickr - sorry, everyone! Fall and winter are getting closer and closer and our very short growing season will be over and I won't be out for as many full-day botanizing outings.
