After a volunteer shift on 23 July 2014, I wasn't too far away from the Erlton/Roxboro Natural Area, where I was finally going to go on a botany walk with a few friends. Having been to this location several times before, I knew it was a short, easy, flat trail, and that I could go as far as I wanted and then turn back early, which is what I did. The main thing I wanted to see were the Nodding / Musk Thistles, as these are my favourite species of Thistle. They are called a weed, but I love to see them. The sun was unfortunately in the wrong direction, so I was only able to get a handful of shots, but better than nothing. With a couple of hours to "kill", I spent them at the Reader Rock Garden, which was just a few minutes' drive away from the evening botany walk location. I love seeing the different species of Lily, including this one.

Came across a white Lily photo that I hadn't posted before, so thought I'd post it today. It's -18C (windchill -25C) this morning, so, though it has certainly warmed up a little from our recent brutally cold temperatures, it's still cold enough to make ones thoughts turn to the warmer days of spring and summer. This photo was taken on 24 July 2013 at the Reader Rock Garden.
