I had received a last minute invite to go on a Botany outing with friends on this day. The walk was led by Gus Yaki.
We went to a property west of Calgary known as "The Rusty Bucket".
There had been a fair amount of rainfall so the humidity caused issues with my camera. I found it difficult to get a focused photo.
This was a very delightful property and the hosts Liz and Alan Breakey were extremely welcoming.
We saw many forms of fungi. We even saw a small frog. The gardens on this property are a delight.
Thanks everyone for your views, faves and comments. They are greatly appreciated!

I photographed these Bleeding Heart in a neighborhood near me on a bike ride yesterday afternoon.
First time in my life that I've ever shot these, some photos I saw on flickr inspired me.
Bleeding Hearts flower (Dicentra Spectabilis). This picture was one of my very first forays into serious close-up flower photography. I had just read a book on nature photography and was using a really bad Sigma 70-250 zoom / "macro" UTM (that's not ultra-tonic motor, but rather universal thread mount, hehe) on a old Pentax. Unfortunately, because film = money = poor student, I didn't take that many shots of this. It was taken on a slightly foggy day in my backyard in Munich. The background is actually the very out-of-focus back porch. From reading about this plant, I understand that there are two varieties of it. One is pink and one is more blood red. What I like about the image is the arch and the progression of the buds in size. I suppose that the image might be more visually appealing if I flipped the transparency because the stem enters the picture on the right instead of the left and people's eyes tend to enter a picture from the left and move right...or so I was taught.
