Didn't feel like searching for a better third image for today, so quickly grabbed this one. This pretty magenta flower is native to Alberta, growing in moist meadows and flowering May-June. This one was growing on someone's private property south of the city, near Millarville.

Had a wonderful day out in the mountains on 13 January 2013, thanks to friends Cathy and Terry! I so rarely get to the mountains, especially during the winter months, so it was a real treat to go with them to the Highway 40/Smith Dorrien area. The Smith-Dorrien/Spray Trail south of Canmore is a gravel road which passes through the heart of the scenic Smith-Dorrien Valley, one of the wildest areas of Kananaskis Country. This was just one of the many beautiful mountain scenes - there's just something about snow that hasn't been crossed with a pattern of animal trails (other than a slump line). We saw so many rabbit tracks in some places. Thanks so much, guys, for giving me the chance to see such magnificent scenery!
