Flowers and more

Mushroom pretending to be a flower.


After a full day of rain, not the nice northern misty rain, nooo a downpour of blowing rain; we decided to take pictures of the tundra.
Mosquitoes didn't take long to find us but we persevered for a couple of nice shots. Yes, I even ate a mosquito. Don't be fooled, while the plant life may be small, the mosquitoes are not.

There are many plants of this pale colouring neighbouring the deep pink variety. I found them irresistible.
