queen’s cup
once again an odd choice of names. i can imagine titania becoming very frustrated as the liquid pours out between the petals whilst she tries to drink….
Townsend’s Solitaire
we saw a whole bunch of these on our way to elbow falls. they must be used to hikers because the sat for a long time and posed for us.
ghostly thistles
we saw these beauties in waterton and glacier national park. they have large flowers and silvery white stems and leaves, making them look like the ghost of canadian thistles. maybe this is where the thistles we kill on the prairies go when they die…
still looking for christmas trees
digory is determined to find a christmas tree to take home, even though it is still summer! he’s convinced if he can just find the right one i’ll let him sneak it out of the park. he scrambled up on this log to inspect the tree growing out of its top.

i used a zoom lens to photograph him from below.
