Evening Walk in the Sand Hills

It has been ages since we have been down to the Cypress River spillway, so Don and I took a drive down to the sand hills after supper. The evening was quiet and serene with a slight cloud cover. We trudged up the moving sand hill to the Assiniboine River look out spot. Passed by the oak tree arch that Leah had some grad pictures taken at in 2008. Noticed that a juniper bush is overgrowing onto the moving sand hill track so that the path has a curve in it where it used to be straight. This area has been our local playground for 3 decades, but we can see changes.

where she had a gorgeous grad photo taken!

Interesting plant.  Seems to have pods on it.  What is it?

Is this golden rod?

Another cute desert flower.  What is it?
