Such delicate pastels.
Lewisia rediviva, our Bitterroot, blooming above Irish Canyon. This is the most beautiful example l've seen of this species #nativeplants

7 Dec: Legend tells of a bird with a broken wing who begged each tree for shelter from the cold. All the trees refused; only a fir tree offered it sanctuary. For this kindness the Frost King decreed that the North Wind should never blow away its leaves in winter. #FolkloreSunday

At least nine Trumpeter Swans seem to have settled down to overwinter on our stretch of river. Hopefully they will find enough submerged vegetation to keep them going for another 5 months! #Ab #YYC #birds

There are a lot of sources online that say Shetland is home to the endemic species Edmondston's Chickweed.

This is not the case - instead the island of Unst is the only global site for Cerastium nigrescens var. nigrescens, an endemic *variety* of the Artic Mouse-ear.

A Barn Owl perched in the perfect position for a picture. Always a great day when you see them before it gets too dark!

Calibrachoa (Million Bells) is still hanging in there. This garden plant is such a giver. And tough! 🍂 #plants #calibrachoa #bloomscrolling

No official snow at the Edmonton airport yesterday, but Calgary did record 1cm. #yeg #yegwx #yyc #yycweather
This is Calgary's earliest snow since 2021.
The last time that they got a really early September snow was 2019, and 2018 for us.
