Prairie Smoke aka. Old Man Whiskers

I know, almost six months ago, on a wonderful Manitoba summer day! But it warms the soul on a day like today at the end of November, when the forecasted high is -17 Celsius (yes, that says minus), which equates to -2 Farenheit. Simply put, it's cold outside. So, I'm appreciating some summer beauty right about now. Hubby and I were driving through Bird's Hill Park and came across a very large field that was frosted with this off-hue of pink, so I asked him to stop. I have never seen this before and was quite taken with the endless beauty. The name of this little beauty if Prairie Smoke, altough often referred to as Old Man Whiskers.
