When we were exploring and botanizing the beautiful acreage (south west of Calgary and west of Millarville) belonging to Janel Butler and her family four days ago, this teeny shell was noticed on the ground. It was temporarily placed on our botany list, and then returned to its original place. (Not my handwriting, by the way, ha).
I am absolutely dead beat - and my feet are killing me and my hips are complaining that they were forced to climb a very steep hillside covered in very slippery grass, as part of our hike today, LOL! I left home at 7:30 a.m. and got home this evening around 9:00 p.m. Apart from three of us stopping to have some supper on the way home, we have been out walking the rolling prairie grasslands south west of the city, west of Nanton, hour after hour after hour ; ) We record every plant we come across, every bird, animal, insect, etc.. Every time we go out to botanize someone's acreage or do a botanizing hike in the foothills or mountains, it's a wonderful win/win situation. We get the amazing chance to see new places and new things, and the ranch/acreage owners are given a complete list of our findings. Not too warm today but dreadfully windy. I almost dread taking a look at my photos in case none of them are sharp enough. Photographing wildflowers in strong winds really doesn't work, LOL.

Arranged only three weeks ago, the pretty riverside wild flowers and berries were softly colouring the last days of summer in the warmth of central France.There's a distinctly Autumnal feel this morning on the South Coast here in U.K. - this seems a world away now.
Venus Comb Shell. So called because the god Venus supposedly used it to comb her hair. These ancient people will believe anything :-)
How does a snail shell look like when you light the inside with a small flashlight?
i tried it out and here's the result!

Macro uploaded for alphabet challenge of 2014. Used my x-e1 with macro lens rather than the dslr. Touch of lens flare. Never mind.
The rule is, if you watch any TV that's not at a normal "wind-down" time, you have to be off your ass and moving.
Looks like I'm personally assembling the dossier he'll take to his future shrink.
These beautiful shells were all over the place, most inhabited by hermit crabs. When you get down and really look at what you are stepping over it can be pretty amazing.
Someone told me I should try taking pictures of my backyard - which is extraordinarily plain, lifeless, and small - and see what interesting things I could make out of it.
It was fun.

Sometimes it's the smallest details that make you happy. Small details that lift up your heart. If you have ever been in love or loved or experienced your dreams come true, you know what I mean.
It is the small touches, kisses, breezes, smells, words, sounds and sights that come to mind first without trying.
This is my ode to small things.
I had a fabulous day with the ones I love and this small thing was part of it.
