The falls twist too much to fit the full series of cascades in frame, but the site (and sight) is extraordinary, with a series of trails and lookouts to vantages along the side of the waterfalls.

T. grandiflorum was designated the provincial emblem of Ontario in 1937 and as the state wild flower of Ohio in 1987. As the symbol of Ontario, a stylized trillium flower features prominently on the official flag of the province’s French-speaking community. It is also frequently used by the Canadian Heraldic Authority to represent Ontario in grants of arms.

"Double Hyacinth 'Hollyhock'"

The Double Hyacinth ‘Hollyhock’, ‘Hyacinthus orientalis’, has exquisite, double deep pink flowers. It is an extremely fragrant, spring-blooming flower and one bloom scents an entire room! Hyacinths are great for indoor forcing, containers, and borders. They flower in mid spring for a 3 – 4 week period.

Hyacinths require a well-drained soil. If they must be planted in heavy soil, mix some sand into the soil. When planted in somewhat shady spots, the flowers will last longer than they would in the hot sun. For the best effects, plant the bulbs in clusters of 5 to 15 bulbs of one variety, or scatter clusters throughout the garden or flower border. Wear gloves to prevent skin irritation. These plants are deer, squirrel and rabbit resistant.

Captured in Allen’s gardens, an indoor conservatory in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

"It's Spring!"

A sign of spring, the American Robin feeds on the Staghorn Sumac on a busy street in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.

The American Robin Turdus migratorius is one of the best-known birds in North America. It was given its name by the early settlers, who thought that, with its reddish breast, it resembled the English Robin. However, the American Robin is a thrush, not a robin, and except for the colour of its breast, it does not look like the small brown European bird.

The American Robin is the largest thrush in North America. The adult measures about 25 cm long and weighs about 77 g. In addition to its cinnamon-rufous to brick-red breast, the American Robin has a black head, white eye-rings, yellow bill, black and white streaked throat, and grey back. The male is generally more brightly coloured than the female.

"Burmis Tree 2"

A coloured infrared image of the famous Burmis Tree, standing at the entrance to Crowsnest Pass, near Blairmore, Alberta, Canada.

Captured with a Canon rebel XSi, using a 18-55mm IS lens. Processed with Tiffen DFX.

The Burmis Tree is a limber pine located in south western Alberta along the Crowsnest Highway and east of municipality of Crowsnest Pass. The tree died in the late 1970s after losing its needles. Its age was estimated to be between 200 and 300 years old. In 1998, it was toppled by wind, however members of local community refused to leave it lying. Efforts were made to fix the tree back up using rods and brackets. In 2004, vandals cut one of the tree’s main branches.
Source: Wikipedia – author unknown

Burmis Tree – This rare Limber Pine is one of the most famous and most photographed trees in Alberta (some say the most photographed tree in the world). It was sentenced to perch on a ridge along Highway 3, in Southern Alberta, Canada, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains (11 km (6 mi.) E of the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre), for over 300 years. Its needles were lost in 1978; Chinook winds toppled it in 1998; it was vandalized in 2004. It suffers by living, by acts of love, and by acts of violence. Unfortunately, the Burmis Tree is the only point of interest left of the once prosperous coal mining and lumber town of Burmis.
