McDougall Church on a sunny day
Where I was, yesterday
Looking a lot like fall
Watching and waiting
Filling up on berries before winter
Splish, splash, I was taking a bath
Burrowing Owl
A country road in fall colours
Delicate
Listening
Supper time for a hungry young Beaver
Great dexterity
The mountains at sunrise
Beautiful Leafhoppers - Cuerna alpina
Forgetmenot Pond - one of my favourite places
Fall colours
Cedar Waxwing with mountain bokeh
Eye-catching Fireweed
A moment to ponder
On golden pond
Curious, for a brief second
A sight for sore eyes
Just for the record
Owl butterfly
View over the Waterton Valley
Dusky Grouse
Young Beavers at play
Backlit
Three-toed Woodpecker
Garlic
Me and my shadow
Butter-&-eggs
Quick march
Skiff Elevator, after the storm
Coming in to land
Red-tailed Hawk
Just a little mushroom
The fancy web work of a spider
Young Burrowing Owl
Almost like art
Menacing
Juvenile Red-winged Blackbird
A change from Marmots
Jerusalem Artichoke
Juvenile Pied-billed Grebe

Fall colours of Common Tansy


Though Common Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is a weed that grows in our parks and natural areas, I still like coming across it, with its beautiful bright yellow, button-like flowers. This particular plant was photographed at Lafarge Meadows, Fish Creek Provincial Park, on 14 September 2014. In Alberta, this plant is listed as Noxious. It was a beautiful, sunny day - hard to believe that we had had two heavy, late-summer snowfalls on 9 and 10 September.
"Introduced from Europe in the 1600’s, its pungently aromatic foliage has been used medicinally, as an insect repellant, and for embalming. Common tansy forms dense stands and the plants contain alkaloids that are toxic to both humans and livestock if consumed in large quantities. Cases of livestock poisoning are rare, though, because tansy is unpalatable to grazing animals. Because of its long medicinal and horticultural use, Common tansy is still available in plant nurseries and from herbal remedy suppliers. Gardeners should not purchase Common tansy."
