Finally, the wild flowers are blooming beside the river paths. I thought it would never happen.
Just look at these delicate colours...and the very placid lady bug sunning herself on a bright green leaf.
The Bow river is very high and fast these days. All the side channels are pretty much filled up with water and some of the walking paths have temporarily disappeared . We caught a bit of sunshine to walk and play in yesterday but the stormy, rainy weather is back in spades today.
I must say that Calgarians don't do well with cloudy, rainy weather. They get downright grumpy over it. It is an interesting contrast to how they behave all winter with snow, blizzards and cold temperatures. All that ice and snow they take in their stride, but rain and clouds are another unwelcome story entirely. They crave sunshine and they don't seem to care if it is cold, as long as it is sunny. This June is definitely trying everyone's patience around here.
