Another view at Bow Valley Provincial Park. The wetlands here are home to so many species of wildflower, as well as birds. These mountains are the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. Taken on 20th June 2005, not recently. I wish...!

OK, this is known as sheer desperation! The sun was supposed to finally shine today after days and days of grey, snowy weather - but, nothing! So, I went to Safeway and bought myself a bunch of flowers (yellowy white - the brightly coloured bunches were twice as expensive!) along with the milk, bread and chocolate bar (for sure, comfort food!). Lots to learn about photographing flowers indoors! Had some problem getting enough light on these pale blooms and ended up holding one over a table lamp (I now have one singed flower!). They shine on my computer screen - hope they do on yours, otherwise they will be rather lifeless. And now I am going to go for yet another cold, dull, grey walk. Did buy half a dozen Hot Cross buns the other day so, in theory, Easter and spring are not far away. Yeah!

I have only seen these flowers in maybe a couple of places here. A very delicate shade of pink.

Dipping into a few old, digital photos whilst waiting for spring to finally arrive! Came across this Peacock at the Pasu Sheep Farm in Alberta back in June 2005.
