Took a number of photos of this little Red Squirrel yesterday afternoon, when I couldn't find the Northern Pygmy-owl for quite a while. Didn't want to go home without any new photos, LOL! It has part of a seed caught in the fur of its right hand.

LOL, I still come across an occasional mushroom photo in my fairly recent archives and want to add it to my Fungi Set. Just wait till next year, for the fungi season - then you can get REALLY sick of my fungi photos : )

I was happy to come across this Water Smartweed on my walk yesterday. Fortunately, some of it was growing close to the water's edge in the tiny wetland.

This is what I came across on one of my local walks, at Votier's Flats, Fish Creek Provincial Park. Once my knees lost some of their weakness, I plucked up the courage to lean forward and just kept clicking. The weather wasn't particularly warm, so fortunately the snake was too cold to move.
