S*#@ ........!

I don't like using the "S" word (SNOW), but we all knew it had to happen sometime!!!!! LOL, taken today on a botanizing trip south of the city! We were supposed to botanize two ranches down in the William's Coulee area for the day, but quickly realized that all the plants were covered. The day turned out to be a birding trip from the comfort of the car instead, ha. This is still SUMMER!!! We did see a lot of Swainson's and Red-tailed Hawks perched high, many American Pippits and a few other species. When we got back to Calgary, I went back to Shannon Terrace, Fish Creek Park, to see if I could find any fungi, and then, on my way home, I called in at a Birthplace Forest to check if any mushrooms were growing amongst all the woodchips. Most of my photos from today were a complete waste of time - most will need to be deleted. Where IS the sun??? My camera just won't take any decent shots in such low light : (
