No, today's discovery is botanical... we were on the hunt for the elusive Fawn Lily and...
We found a whole meadow of Chocolate Lilies!!
They are usually so hard to spot because they are brown in colour...
But a whole meadow is hard to miss... cool!
And nearby we did find the Fawn Lilies but...
They were already done and gone... ah well.
It's nice and peaceful here...
I'm just going to sit for a bit...
I found this cool old stump...
It'd make a great hiding spot for little bears playing hide'n'seek.
Oooh... caves!
Did anyone bring a flashlight? No, eh? Sigh... no surprise there...
Although it's not really a cave... just an overhang... still cool.
This area gets flooded a lot... and leads over to some farmland.
Hmm... I think those are deer tracks...
And maybe muskrat or beaver?
Dog?
See... farmland... apparently the far end is a park but we've never been there... maybe some day... (coming soon!) Apparently a lot of star gazers go there because it's so dark and you can actually see the Milky Way.... oooh... that would be cool.
And look... all that crud up in the tree....
That's from high water! Glad I wasn't here then.
Oh... and we found another flowering tree...
Ta-dah! It's the Pacfic Dogwood!! This is BC's own official flower.
I didn't know that the Pacific dogwood was your official provincial tree. We have them down here too (go figure). What is BCs official fish? Oregon's fish is the chinook salmon
ReplyDeleteHmm... good question... I will have to look that up. Hang on a minute... Uh-huh... our official fish is the Pacific Salmon which includes: Chinook salmon, Chum salmon, Coho salmon, Cutthroat trout, Pink salmon, Sockeye salmon and Steelhead. That's pretty comprehensive I think.
DeleteThe official fish of Texas is the Guadalupe bass. No salmon in this neck of the woods.
DeleteDogwood is my favorite flower...no surprise there! :)
ReplyDeleteGood choice! I imagine Little Fox's favourite is Foxglove! Personally, I'm preferential to Bear Grass...
