Size doesn't matter

When we were exploring and botanizing the beautiful acreage (south west of Calgary and west of Millarville) belonging to Janel Butler and her family four days ago, this teeny shell was noticed on the ground. It was temporarily placed on our botany list, and then returned to its original place. (Not my handwriting, by the way, ha).

I am absolutely dead beat - and my feet are killing me and my hips are complaining that they were forced to climb a very steep hillside covered in very slippery grass, as part of our hike today, LOL! I left home at 7:30 a.m. and got home this evening around 9:00 p.m. Apart from three of us stopping to have some supper on the way home, we have been out walking the rolling prairie grasslands south west of the city, west of Nanton, hour after hour after hour ; ) We record every plant we come across, every bird, animal, insect, etc.. Every time we go out to botanize someone's acreage or do a botanizing hike in the foothills or mountains, it's a wonderful win/win situation. We get the amazing chance to see new places and new things, and the ranch/acreage owners are given a complete list of our findings. Not too warm today but dreadfully windy. I almost dread taking a look at my photos in case none of them are sharp enough. Photographing wildflowers in strong winds really doesn't work, LOL.
