Study in contrasts
Photographed at the Reader Rock Garden on 22 September 2010.
Today, I set my alarm for 5:10 a.m., as I was going on a day of botanizing at a new location, but heavy, non-stop rain made us actually change our minds. Useless for taking photos, and not exactly good for ones camera. Also, it was only 4C (!!!) when I got up this morning - soaring to a balmy 7C when we were in the car, driving to the meeting place to check if we were going or not. A coffee stop was a great idea, while the five of us waited to see if the rain might clear - which it didn't. It's always disappointing when a trip is cancelled, but this is almost unheard of. On the way home, three of us called in at Tim Hortons and had a delicious combo of coffee and a breakfast, which made a very tasty and enjoyable stop. Thanks so much for the treat, Stephen, and for doing the driving! Oh, while we were at the first coffee place, a lady stopped to chat with us (she works at the place). She was so funny, telling us one joke after another, all of them simple and very cute. One that I can remember is:
"What did the 0 (zero) say to the 8?"
Answer: Nice belt!
I have two full days of botanizing tomorrow and the following day, so will be tied up and totally exhausted, ha! I find that back to back days are just too much for me now, but, all being well, I'll survive these two days of forest walking and getting down to the ground and back up again to photograph mushrooms amd other things. Hopefully, the sun will shine and we will find some new things to add to our existing lists of flora and fauna for these two locations.
