Yesterday morning, three of us spent a few hours botanizing at the Leighton Art Centre, recording (i.e.listing) all flora and fauna found. We did the same about a month ago, so it was important to note any new species that had appeared. The staff and volunteers are then given this extensive list and any photos that are taken, to use in any educational way they wish. Couldn't resist photographing this worn totem pole that was maybe 5' tall. This Centre lies in an absolutely beautiful area of rolling hills SW of Calgary. We were so lucky with the weather - overcast and not good for photos, but thankfully the rain held off till we had finished. After this hilly walk, I decided to drive the backroads in the area, finding all sorts of familiar but neat things to see and photograph. Three or four hours later, I arrived home in thunder and rain. This morning is beautifully sunny, thankfully. On Friday night, one of the communities in Calgary (Sunnyside) suffered bad flash floods after newly fallen rain. As if the Flood of the Century two weeks earlier wasn't enough!

Yes, and I understand some of the same areas got flooded again ... I cannot imagine what the folks felt like after they cleaned up the first time, to get hit again ... if this was me, I would move to higher grounds ...
