Bog Laurel (Swamp Laurel, Pale Laurel)
Kalmia polifolia
• Family: Heath (Ericaceae)
• Habitat: bogs
• Height: 6-36 inches
• Flower size: 1/2 inch across
• Flower color: pink
• Flowering time: May to June
• Origin: native

Taken at:
Mer Bleue, Greenbelt (Ottawa)
The Greenbelt is a 203.5 square kilometers (78.6 sq mi)[1] crescent of land within the present-day boundaries of the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in which real estate development is strictly controlled. It begins at Shirleys Bay in the west and extends to Green's Creek in the east. 149.5 square kilometers (57.7 sq mi) of the greenbelt is owned and managed by the National Capital Commission (NCC) and the rest is held by other federal government departments and private interests.

The Greenbelt's success in curbing urban sprawl is difficult to measure because it is not known what the city would have looked like without it.

Bonjour Yan, j'aime bien ces couleurs éclatantes et la très courte PDC, une superbe image.

Nice and delicate, Yan. You have a good eye for the little beauties (like Christan and Vandana) that we guys seem to miss looking for grandios vistas.
Cheers
Otto
