Little cutie from the archives
Brushstrokes in the sky
Herronton elevator
A beautiful setting
Couldn't resist RED
Resting on a pylon
Love Alberta
Towards the sun
Just for my records
Waiting patiently
Snowshoe Hare in hiding
House Finch enjoying the sun's warmth
A face at the window, but not an owl : )
Roll on spring and summer!
Juvenile Herring Gull?
Bug convention
Stealthy Coyote
When the light catches
Seven-spotted Ladybug larva
Fluffed up for winter
One of yesterday's treasures
Summer's glow
Old and new on the prairies
Impressive
The classic Echinacea shot
Ice castle at Lake Louise, 2008
My very first Long-eared Owl, October 2006
Harsh reality
Summer sweetness
A good vantage point
Globe Thistle
Frosty Long-eared Owl
Forest display
Always a real treat
Lower Falls, Johnston Canyon, Kananaskis
Claspleaf twistedstalk berries
Great while it lasted
Puffballs
Yellow Lady's-slipper
Winter simplicity
Standing alone
Can't wait for summer
Gotta love those owls
Blue and white
Mist and bokeh

Yellow Straw Flower


I'm always delighted to see a Straw Flower (Strawflower), of any colour. Just fascinated by how perfect they usually are. Love their paper-like petals. Photographed (macro) at the Reader Rock Garden on 14 August 2013.
The petals aren’t true petals at all, but in fact are modified leaves called bracts, that come in many colours, including yellow, orange, cream, pink, white, and purple.
"Xerochrysum bracteatum, commonly known as the golden everlasting or strawflower, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to Australia." From Wikipedia.
