The main reason I took this shot was because there was a ditch across the path where I could stand and take it. I knew I was in for a lot of kneeling and getting down and up again the further we went, so avoided kneeling on the gravel at some inelegant angle this time. These are "just" False Dandelions, but they were growing right where I wanted : ) This was a wonderful hike, even though we didn't go up on to the flat top of the Plateau (way off to the left of the photo). The grassy hillsides were covered in wildflowers, several new ones, too. It is a very long drive from Calgary, though. The rain waited until we were ready to go home and, thankfully, it wasn't a really hot day. Thanks, Moya, for taking us to explore this great place! And thanks to Robin's husband for driving us there and back!
