Bold and beautiful

"Just" the usual Lily photo, but I did love the colour! This gorgeous, vivid orange Lily was growing at the Reader Rock Garden recently. Sorry if I don't do any/only a little commenting tonight - just thoroughly worn out after a full day of botanizing a new area. Today, I was in mushroom heaven again (with five friends), this time northwest of the city, west of Sundre, at the Bentz Lake Natural Area. Left home about 6:45 a.m. this morning and I have just got home around 7:00 p.m. this evening. A full day of walking and exploring forest and bog - in fact, my feet have been soaking wet for maybe nine hours, LOL! However, we saw so many amazing things, everything from a Police Car Moth to tiny Wood Frogs, and from a few new plants including Yellow Pondlily to beautiful, brightly coloured mushrooms and slime molds. I'm tired out (even more so as I got practically no sleep last night) from so much fresh air, exercise and excitement. I'm so glad no one tape records all my oohs and aahs, LOL! Might not live those down : )
