Pincher Creek!!

OK.  Finally got the photos sorted from cone collecting at Pincher Creek!  These seeds are like gold.  The trees are endangered in Alberta and we have to 'cage' the branches earlier in the season because we are competing with birds, squirrels and bears for the seeds!

It was bloody cold.  I had to borrow kit from people and even with 6 layers on, I was only just warm enough when we were working.  The 1 hour we had to wait for the pilot to come back was frickin awful!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
