"Long summer days choked with wildfire haze has made this the smokiest summer on record in Alberta's biggest cities.
Environment Canada data shows Edmonton and Calgary have set new records for "smoke hours," which are counted when the haze becomes particularly thick, reducing visibility along the horizon to 9.7 kilometres or less.
Records on smoke hours have been kept for more than 70 years. The previous record for both Edmonton and Calgary was set in 2018.
Between May and September of that year, Edmonton recorded 229 smoke hours. Calgary recorded 450 smoke hours during the same time frame.
This year, as of Sunday (3 September 2023), Edmonton has recorded 244 smoke hours. Calgary has recorded 464 smoke hours so far this summer.
The totals for both cities are expected to rise as smoke continues to drift in from wildfires burning in B.C. and the north." From The Weather Network, 4 September 2023.

"A friend told me about a display of fungi near Fish Creek Park last year, so of course I had to go and check it out : ) Taken on 29 June 2012, near the edge of the eastern end of the park. Wish I knew what kind of mushrooms these are - I love the patterns that form on the top surface of the caps. They look so much like some of the Easter Hot Cross Buns that I buy.
Any chance that these could be Cracked-Cap Mushroom / Agrocybe dura? Apparently, they are very common in wood mulch, which fits with my photo."

The mountain are mostly bare rock and earth so when the wind blows, the snow is blown away leaving a regular criss cross pattern of white and grey.

An aloe of some sort. "Aloe. It's soft tissue." Not an Aloe vera. Aloe arborescens also would be my guess.

The sprinkler system and the marine layer covered this aloe with water droplets! Similar to an image I posted several weeks ago, this one seems to me to be throwing its arms out in a dance of joyful gratitude! I'm hoping that those of you in record-breaking heat will find this image cool and refreshing! I so appreciate your presence here and your friendship!
i wish i took this shot a bit more sharp..and maybe focused on the infant buds on top..i was sooo confused while taking this. spent an hour sitting with the camera, tripod and a little stool and this plant, but still wasnt satisfied
This pattern was concieved by Moon Attic. I first rendered it in AutoCad and then downloaded it into PS. I tried to leave it in B & W, but it made one dizzy. I chose these colors, because, they are the one's I am wearing!!
Just practicing with cheese slopes... This shape is interesting to me because it is ostensibly made up of 6 equilateral triangles, which are put together to supposedly make 3 diamonds, which should fit together to make a perfect hexagon. But it is very clear that the cheese slopes are not perfectly triangular, so you get strange things like this. It seems to me that the orange and red parallelograms are each larger than the blue polygon (is it a rhombus? or an irregular hexagon??), but they're all the same size, made up of the same number of slopes.
