It's hip to be hairy: Beards have not only come back into fashion, they also have cultural and religious significance throughout the world.

This is the dreaded Goat's-beard, a highly invasive, non-native plant that has spread (and keeps spreading, despite attempts to control it) in our natural areas in the city and beyond. Too bad, because both the beautiful flower and huge Dandelion-like seedhead are most attractive.

On 26 June 2016, a fair-sized group of people spent the morning on a walk led by Erik Butters, out past Cochrane, NW of Calgary. This land consists of rolling, open hills and areas of woodland, with the Rocky Mountains in the distance. This event was the 8th Annual Flora & Fauna Fundraising for Ghost River Watershed Outing.
Fortunately, I knew how to drive to this distant location, so I was able to pick up friend Dorothy and off we went together. We allowed plenty of time to get there, just in case of heavy traffic or else we saw something interesting en route. This meant that there was time for me to stop and take a few photos of a Llama in someone's field, a couple of beautiful Longhorn cattle lying down and a small herd of maybe half a dozen Elk that we saw way off in the distance.
I think everyone was more than ready for lunch by the time our hike was over! Going to our destination was all uphill, which I normally avoid at all cost. Coming down used less energy, but painful knees felt every step on the way down : )
Around 1:00 pm, Erik and his partner provided a great BBQ for those of us from Calgary and for the people who had joined us from elsewhere. As always, the food was delicious! Thank you so much, both of you! Amazingly, the sun shone and there was no rain, despite the weather forecast.
Interesting face with a beard worthy of ZZ Top. The eyes are kind of sweet.

This alien creature occasionally appears on our lawn and deck in small clumps after big windstorms.
It has a very otherworldly look, as if it might have even washed up on the tide, dredged from some mysterious underwater realm.
It's actually a lichen, called "Beard Lichen" or "Old Man's Beard" (Usnea Strigosa). It grows high on tree branches, and according to Wiki, the disks are used for propagating its species. This is where it releases its spores!
To me, they look like the "mouth parts" of a Venus fly trap plant, or something spawned from a "Little Shop of Horrors!"

Oh and I'm going camping for the weekend so I don't know when I'll be back.
Meet Shaun from "near Nimbin". he is in Queensland for a work project in Toowoomba. "I build oil rigs" Shaun told me. "I may not look like it but I do" he explained. I was a bit perplexed as I have no pre conceived ideas about what an oil rig builder would look like.
"We will be finished this project soon and then we are off to Scotland for a big project. Provided the world calms down a bit before then".

Still hard for me to believe this is the middle of winter! Unusually nice day, beautiful sky, nice light. I was in the right place at the right time.
Beard lichen, most likely fishbode beard lichen (Usnea filipendula), growing on a branch.
Brodaczka, najprawdopodobniej brodaczka zwyczajna (Usnea filipendula), rosnąca na gałęzi.
A flower whose various names are almost as beautiful as the petals themselves - Jupiter's Beard, red valerian, kiss me quick, spur valerian, fox's brush, and the scientific name Centranthus ruber. Found growing wild in Seattle, Washington, USA.
Young group chatting outside a pub as our Streetsnappers workshop group was passing. This chap's look at his mate somehow caught my eye
(It's in reverse... must have been sent as a WhatsApp message).
Phone off, put away, focus, and drive!
For the Merlins-Beard Summer Bignette Contest.
Although I would like to remind the rest of the world it's not summer everywhere! We had snow in the backyard for the first time in the 3 years I've lived here this week! Although I'm sure most North Americans/Europeans would scoff at calling what we had snow.....
On a hot summers day Davos of Ambarvale relaxes by a cool stream in one of Lenfalds vast forests. After returning from the Great Western Isles he is glad to be back in the beautiful forests of his homeland and takes this opportunity away from his travelling companions to take in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest and take a cool and refreshing drink from the small stream.
Of course Davos is not his real name, his parents actually named him Deorwine - a name from the old language of Lenfald that means Dear (Deor) Friend (Wine). However during the war against the evil queen Galinar, Deorwine found himself fighting in a Loreesi company. His Loreesi comrades found the old-Lenfel name a little difficult on the tongue and shorted it to the more Loreesi sounding 'Davos'. Of course this name kind of just stuck. Now however, with Lenfald's independence from Roawia and the renewed animosity between Lenfald and Loreos, Davos finds himself being referred to as Deorwine again more and more. He doesn't really mind - unlike most of his countrymen he has a respect and liking for the Loreesi formed in comradeship and conflict.
