Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: DOF

I'd never seen these regular, very tiny Cladonia growing on soil on a dry, open hillside before (photo is macro, of course. Most people would never notice them). I always thought they were to be found in the forest. Fascinating little things - Shrek Ears, Golf Tees, Pixie Cups ..... LOL. (This sample was being collected to be examined further at home by one of our botany members.) Found on a botanizing trip yesterday to the Western Sky Land Trust's Wheatland #1, formerly Jack Nodwell’s Property, 59 acres of land near Carseland, Alberta.

OK, I just HAD to photograph another Chrysanthemum - you will all be getting a little bit tired of snowy scenery : ). Still have a few more winter shots to upload - don't want to be uploading them in the summer.
