A mix of colours
A macro of Alfalfa. I love these flowers, as not only can a flower cluster be white, yellow, purple and so on, but some individual clusters can be a mix of different colours, too, as seen here. I thought this was a specially nice flower head. Photographed at Erlton/Roxboro Natural Area in the city.
Just got home a short while ago from a full day of hiking at Bow Valley Provincial Park, which is right on the very eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. I think the temperature was around 10C when we started walking and I believe it got up to around 19C by the end of the afternoon, when the black clouds started to move in. It was a beautiful sky - I don't think another single cloud could have been squeezed into it - so much more interesting than a plain blue one. Blue Asters were almost the only wildflowers to be seen still in bloom - always so depressing after the very short growing season that we have here. The forest was empty of fungi, except for one unphotogenic Pholiota (?) that was growing sideways on a tree. However, we saw a variety of birds, including a Kingfisher, Merlin and Sharp-shinned Hawk. Not a day for photos, really, other than a few shots of stunning scenery. Not a bad thing, as I must have taken something like 500 or 600 photos on yesterday's trip south of the city, LOL! Absolutely gorgeous day today, much enjoyed - thanks so much, Andrew! Thanks, Marion, too, for driving us there and back - much appreciated!
