I found this little pair of mushrooms on 15th September last year (2008), when I drove out to Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), Kananaskis. Beautiful texture of their caps and love that green moss. I am so happy that I have fungi odds and ends in my archives, to keep me going for a while longer : )

We see this plant growing in the wild, but these flowers happened to be at the Reader Rock Garden. This native wildflower grows on prairie grasslands and belongs to the Pea family. Seen in flower July-September. Sorry I'm being so slow with commenting, everyone! I've just been told that I have dangerously high blood pressure (after being without medication for quite a few months because I didn't have a family doctor, and the last walk-in doctor I saw almost a year ago refused to give me more than one month's worth and told me I HAD to find one - impossible in this city!!! Finally, I have managed to find a doctor (though I have to admit I can barely understand him, as his accent is very difficult. I wonder if his patients are leaving him because they can't understand him? Anyway, I am back on BP medication - a side effect is that it is causing awful tiredness, which does not go down well with me at all! Hard to make myself get out of bed and get ready to go on an occasional walk, too, which isn't good. I'm just functioning at a MUCH slower pace - grrr!

It didn't seem right to use an orange (not red) Poppy for my Remembrance Day tribute earlier today, which is why I used a Poppy pin instead and kept this image as just one of my "daily three". Photographed late September last year at the Reader Rock Garden.
