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?

Hmmm, somebody must work at Michelin



Or somebody knows somebody who can get them cheap tires?

At any rate, another shot of the carnage that are the Grimm Rd. burnouts.
