Mother Nature's artwork

After almost a week of staying home, keeping away from the damage done by our present "Flood of the Century", I decided to drive just a few minutes away from home, to see if the mushrooms that a friend told me about a short while ago, were still there. Most were old and shrivelled, but there were still a few that were in better shape. I saw the same kind of fungi there a year ago, but I don't think I ever got an ID for them. I was amazed and, needless to say, so relieved, to see no sign in this small area of the devastating flooding. This morning, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Looking outside, you would never guess that, for the past week, much of our city and other parts of southern Alberta have been underwater due to the horrendous "Flood of the Century". People are now left with the monumental task of cleaning all the mud from their basements and businesses. 75,000 people in Calgary were evacuated from their homes and I believe that they have now all been allowed back to them, to start on the heartbreaking task of trying to het their homes back to "normal".
