Zuckerberg Beauty


Once in a while you come across a scene with a flower or flowers that is worth a photo. While walking through the shaded canopy of Zuckerberg Island at Castlegar, B.C., with my brother and nephews, I spotted this lethal beauty. A purple foxglove almost hidden amid the undergrowth. I took a few minutes to snap a few shots with the little Pentax digital. It was worth it. Just remember that these beauties are extremely poisonous.
