I learned a valuable lesson this evening. Sometimes you have to look for beauty where you least expect it. I looked at the sunset and was disappointed it. It was a dud. But the eastern sky was a pastel rose/purple gem. I thought it was a gentle gem. It was almost too subtle for me. It was well worth photographing. This reminded me of a line from another Bruce Cockburn song: “Spirits open to the thrust of grace.” You had to be open for the beauty or you would miss it.

Wild Rose
Small white Lady’s-slipper
Yellow Lady’s-slippers
Fairy-slipper or Calypso (Calypso bulbs)

Calypso bulbosa is the first orchid of Manitoba to bloom each year.

The Wild Rose is one of the most common and most beautiful of the wildflowers of Manitoba. That is a fortunate thing.
