Little Alpine Forget-me-nots, macro photographed on Plateau Mountain, Kananaskis, on July 17th. Such beautiful flowers and loved by many : ) To help take my mind off all the other urgent things that are going on at the moment, my youngest daughter has just headed across the US to Savannah, Georgia, for a six-day break before starting a new job back here. The up-to-date weather forecast for Savannah: "Hurricane Irene may affect the area Friday night"! Sigh ....!

HAPPY 4th JULY to all Americans around the world! Oops, not as sharp as it should have been! Looks worse than it did around 1:00 this morning, ha. This is Alpine Forget-me-not, seen on the long walk up to Plateau Mountain on July 2nd. Always a treat to see such vibrant blue. Just wish it wasn't so very windy up there on the mountain side.

I love the way tiny Forget-me-not flowers can have a pink centre and a yellow centre on the same little cluster. Not the sharpest photo (gee, I think I've said that before about some of my photos!). Not exactly sure which species of Forget-me-not this is, but I photographed it up on Plateau Mountain, way south of the city, on 31st July. "There are approximately fifty species in the genus, with much variation. Most have small (1 cm diameter or less) flat, 5-lobed blue, pink or white flowers with yellow centers" From Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forget-me-not
