The red flower looks a lot like one the grows in western Canada. My girlfriend and drove to British Columbia last year and I got some great shots of the flora and fauna.

Hope we'll be able to make it too. My SIL has finally hired one of our good friends to work at the store on Sundays, so maybe that will free us up to go some places as a family.
