Prickly Rose


The hillside at the Leighton Art Centre, SW of Calgary, had so many of these beautiful wild Roses. Some, like this one, were such a lovely, deeper shade of pink. Three of us spent a few hours there, searching for and making a list of all the flora and fauna (known as botanizing) that we came across. We were there something like a month ago, doing the same thing, so we needed to note any new species. We pass on all these lists and any photos that are taken to the Centre, for them to use in any way that they would like. A very definite win-win situation, as we have an enjoyable time doing what we love (apart from having to climb back UP the hill, lol!) and the Centre receives valuable information.
I'm so late (just after noon) posting my photos - again! - today. I discovered late last night that the later it got, the faster my photo files were being transferred (more people obviously fast asleep in bed and off their computers). So, the temptation was there to just keep going. Did not enjoy what I saw when I opened my blinds, though - it's raining and sometime during the night it rained really hard. Oh, the thousands of poor people who have already suffered tremendous damage from the Flood of the Century during the last two weeks! I feel hesitant to check online or my TV to see if anywhere has new flooding. On Friday evening, one of our communities called Sunnyside had flash floods. Really, enough is enough!
