Church roof gets some 'bling'



I'm glad I stopped to get this shot on Saturday, the field of yellow caught my eye.

One day later it had been mowed and the yellow flowers were gone.

This church (name escapes me) recently got new siding and a gleaming metal roof and spire. I think it looks great, especially against that blue sky and sea of yellow!

*update* I have it from a reliable source, that this church is now privately owned...which would explain the expensive reno's!

Poppies are popping!



I'll have to act quickly to capture these blossoms before they are gone for the season.

They are a sea of colour right now, a nice way to be greeted as I come home!

Looks can be deceiving...



Pretty little plant...unless you are an insect and you happen to land on it.

The sundew plant will slowly close its tendrils as it digests its victim.

Carniverous plants, love 'em.

Foxy fox



Spotted by Risser's Beach provincial park on Friday.

It didn't seem to worried by my presence, looked a little ragged and hungry.

I wonder if it lives in the dunes behind the beach?
