Old limbs and youthful beauty

Another image from our wet, wet day on 31 May 2013, doing the May Species Count at the Whaleback. This beautiful area of rolling hills is 170 miles south of Calgary. The yellow Balsamroot was spectacular. This is a plant that only grows further south, so it was a real treat to have the chance to see it that day. Little did we know that all the wet days we'd had recently were building up to the devastation of the "Flood of the Century" in Calgary and the rest of southern Alberta this past week.
