Four of us spent the day in this area on 18th July - Barrier Lake, Kananaskis. It was the second day of the University of Calgary's Open House, and my tiny group spent part of the day botanizing the forested area along this part of the shore of the lake. Though you can't tell in this photo, the woods were a mass of wildflower colour, including many orange Western Wood Lilies and red Paintbrush. Such a beautiful, peaceful place. Afterwards, two of us went on a butterfly walk, led by Steve, who was spending the summer working at the centre. This was when the rain decided to arrive! Barrier Lake is located approximately 80 km west of Calgary city limits. The Barrier Lake Visitor Information Centre is located 6 km (3.6 miles) south of the Trans-Canada Highway on Highway 40. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier_Lake

Oops, I was hoping that this photo might look a bit sharper on Fickr, but I guess I just missed focussing on the Lacewing. Steve, a Professor down in the States, who is working at the University of Calgary's Barrier Lake Centre for the summer, took us on a butterfly walk on Sunday. This was one of the tiny insects we saw during this walk at the Open House.
