As promised, photos from my husband's trip to
Red Rock Coulee, near Seven Persons, Alberta. The
Grasslands Naturalists group is introducing him to places he never could have imagined, and he's enjoying it thoroughly.

These are such fun photos, Kay! That wild rose was everywhere in Japan. They call it hamanasu and had the most delicious soft serve with that flavor.
how cool concretions are - I even like the way the word sounds. it's always nice to learn about something new & unique in the natural environment.
Very interesting and so completely different to anything I have ever seen. I imagined Montana to be long stretches of farmland, all green x

...I know, I know, this is off the wall, but those are for all the world like dinosaur droppings right there... &*> Great photos and the no-sun-day actually adds to the rather eerie atmosphere of the place. Super shots. YAM xx
I had no idea dove eggs were so pure white. What an interesting discovery … along with the brooding skies and concretions! I can see lots of fun (and great pictures ahead for you) exploring with this naturalist group.
Canada is so filled with natural beauty!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
We have a beach a little way from us with huge red stone balls of various sizes (and shapes!) - they look very similar.

Most interesting, and as Lily H says it's always good to learn something.
Wonderful set of images from nature.
Fascinating trip -- and closer than much of your usual travel.
Really cool pictures, Kay!
What a beautiful trip ! Looks like such a gorgeous place !
