A Taste of Summer
With a wildflower in its paws and the alpine meadows in full bloom, this Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel reminds us to slow down and appreciate the short but beautiful mountain summer at Highwood Pass.

Standing In Pickleweed
Pickleweed (genus Salicornia, also known as glasswort or sea asparagus) is a native, succulent halophyte found in salt marshes and alkaline flats along the Pacific coast of North America and other coastal regions globally. These low-growing, jointed plants are highly adapted to saline environments by storing excess salt in specialized vacuoles, which causes the stems to turn red or purple in late summer and fall before dropping off to remove the salt. Ecologically, pickleweed is a critical component of wetland ecosystems, providing habitat and food for migrating birds and endangered species like the salt marsh harvest mouse. Historically, it has been used industrially for soda ash production in soap and glass making, and today it is utilized in phytoextraction to remove selenium from contaminated soils. Culinary and medicinal uses are significant; the tender green tips are edible and can be eaten raw in salads, steamed, or pickled, offering a salty, crunchy flavor rich in minerals like magnesium and potassium. In Europe, it is traditionally consumed as "sea beans" or samphire, often pickled with vinegar and spices, while indigenous peoples of California historically used it as a seasoning and vegetable.

Gerris
Il s'agit d'un gerris, également connu sous le nom de patineur d'eau ou punaise d'eau. Cet insecte utilise la tension superficielle de l'eau pour se déplacer, aidé par des poils hydrophobes au bout de ses pattes qui repoussent l'eau.

Green winged-teal
A Green-winged Teal at Munsons pond here in Kelowna. Saw the bird first, then when I raised my camera with a 150-600mm lens I was pleasantly surprised to see the turtle staking out it's spot on the branch as well.

Green heron
A wayward Green Heron showed up here in Kelowna - had to go to Munsons pond and get some photos of him! Think I have a new favourite bird now that I have actually seen one (they are unusual here).
