I was thrilled to bits yesterday when friends called me over to see this beautiful, red mushroom! We don't usually see a sight like this, so it was an extra special surprise when we were exploring and botanizing the forest at the Bentz Lake Natural Area, north of Calgary and west of Sundre. And, yes, in case you are wondering, this really IS its colour : )

A cheery photo of a Gerbera Daisy from about a month ago. Not sure how much time I'll be on Flickr this evening - didn't get to bed at all last night, LOL. A handful of us did the annual Dawn Chorus down in Weaselhead, starting at 3:30 a.m., recording all the bird (and animal) species seen and heard. Finished around 7:30 - 7:45 a.m. From there, a friend and I went to two areas south of the city to check on things I had seen recently, but which were nowhere to be seen this morning. On the way home, I called in at Burnsmead to check on the Great Horned Owlets, but the only owl I could see was the older owlet. I wonder where Mom and the younger one were.
