Just beecause I never have huge success with photographing birds, here are some wildflowers pics from the Carden area. Late May-Mid-June is a great time of year to see some of these highly-adapted alvar plants. They tend to be fairly rare in other parts of Ontario. Although there are many places one could go, I highly recommend Cameron Ranch or Prairie Smoke nature Reserve if you are interested in seeing the diversity of plantlife on the Carden Plain.

| Prairie Smoke is everywhere...This picture was taken on the Windmill Ranch |

| The spectacular Indian Paintbrush - Very common although it seems to grow better away from roadways |
 |
| Balsam Ragwort - A true alvar specialist |
 |
| Balsam Ragwort - 2011 has been an excellent year for this wildflower |
 |
| Hairy Beardtongue - Tougher to find than some of the other wildflowers but a beautiful delicate-looking plant |
