Alberta is Wild Rose Country and this one is right outside my door.

MacDoc if you can't peddle them by definition they aren't mopeds... call them that if you want and maybe lots of people do but I know what a real moped was and they aren't it. I know it is semantics but they were called mo peds for the very reason that you could peddle them as well as going motorized. The new ones are small scooters..
so is this a moped -

Have you seen Electric Bikes in Toronto? They look kind of like scooters, but a bit more bare bones in styling, with big wide pedals sticking out the side:
by law they have to have pedals to be classed as they are - just most people remove them. Number of times out on the backroads I've seen people pedaling away after running out of juice and they are VERY hard to pedal.
My son owned one and he never even took the pedals out of the box

If it can be peddled then it is a moped...

I can see with the one you posted the picture of how easy it would be just to leave the peddles off as it is very "scooterish" in design, actually a place to put your feet without the peddles on. With the old ones that sure wasn't the case.

Yeah I know they were/are very hard to peddle I once saw a fellow peddling one to the gas station, he was only a teenager and he looked like he was going to have a coronary.

We have plenty of wild roses here in Quebec as well. the flowers are very small and fully grown the bush is only 10 or 12" tall. Not sure how that compares to Alberta wild roses.

Depends on soil and light. For some reason shaded bushes will reach 2-3 feet while those in direct sunlight tend to be smaller and much less spread out.

Homing missile???

here is one of he stranger photos you will see



bee or june bug or something was flying purposefull behind this swift or swallow - just shot and hoped
I had watched it for a few seconds and saw it tracking the bird.
Perfect light - wide open lens and turned out okay. Dumb luck.
That insect eater was twisting and turning after other bugs and no idea he was being shadowed

This is the wider shot.



was just looking for some perspective shots with the grass and sky and wildflowers and noticed the dog fight.

great day for photos- a classic Ontario farmscape



and evening light on the Credit River.



wish I could get the washout on the upper part of the shot away.
Any suggestions?? TIA

Easy with Lightroom and the "graduated filter", then you can tweak with brushes, etc. It took me literally less than 2 minutes to redo your image. Click on the attachment to see it full size.

See it action here:Lightroom Graduated Filter - YouTube

Nice - I suspect I shot it with the "vivid" on just to see what it would do - that near field green is pretty suspect.
Still deciding what software to use. Thanks for the tip.
