Noxious, but beautiful

This morning, I overslept by an hour, so barely have time to even upload my photos. I suspect this was the result of the stress of being out on a volunteer shift yesterday, knowing that the community I live in was in the path of a tornado that passed over our city and wondering if my home was still standing, plus having to deal with an error with my Internet security system the evening before! Will have to add descriptions, etc. later today.

Took this photo when friends and I stopped at a picnic spot along the Akamina Parkway in Waterton Lakes National Park on 18 July 2015. Unlike here in Calgary, where Goat's-beard has taken over large parts of our natural areas, I only noticed maybe four or five plants of this noxious weed.
