I've seen no other shrubs in bloom = yet but Fly-honeysuckle will be in flower soon. Noticed a few Mayflower = blossoms during a hike into Susies Lake in the Blue Mountain - Birch = Cove Lakes Wilderness Area yesterday and as well some of the Broom = Crowberry was in flower. The purple flowers of the latter plant are = very tiny and quite inconspicuous but when you brush against them clouds = of pollen are released. Kind of neat!

It = was the first time in a long while since I have such large patches of = juniper! Near the start of the trail was a stump that had a fungus I = have never seen growing out of it. In fact, on first inspection, it = looked like someone had made them out of pewter and stuck them to the = stump as a decoration. The effect was heightened as the "stalks" were = the same diameter, right to the wood, as it didn't seem possible for it = to be like that with no disturbance in the wood, unless it was held on = with a protruding nail. They ever sounded hollow when tapped. The other odd item I came across was a shrub in full bloom. It was = waist high, and shaped almost like a candelabra, with the flowers on = vertical sections of branch. I have seen comments from people that their = daphne is in bloom in late winter, but never having seen a daphne plant = I was not sure if this was an example. The plant was in an area that was = growing in, so it's possible it may have been part of a garden in the = past.=20 The pictures are at: http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Mushroom1.JPG http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Mushroom2.JPG http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Shrub.JPG Pat = =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Patrick Kelly Director of Computer Facilities = =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Faculty of Architecture and Planning Dalhousie University = =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D MAIL COURIER PO Box 15000 5410 Spring Garden Road Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 4R2 Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada Canada = =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Phone:(902) 494-3294 FAX:(902) 423-6672 = E-mail:patrick.kelly@dal.ca = =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D No virus found in this message.
