Added for colour
Happily feeding
A happy sign of spring

Reflected beauty
Totally at home
A disappearing act
Not missing a thing
Keeping an eye on those pesky Tree Swallows
A sky bursting with clouds
Dad, awake for a few minutes
Wind-ruffled feathers

Colourful lichen on a bridge railing


Friends, Cathy and Terry, and I had left Calgary early morning on Wednesday (14 May 2014) and I think it was around 12:15 a.m. midnight (last night, Thursday, 15 May 2014), that my friends dropped me off at home after two long, wonderful days in the Rocky Mountains, west of the city. Wednesday night was spent in a spotless motel, in a place that had so many Mountain Sheep roaming the streets, lol! Though we were hoping to see at least one Bear, I was happy as can be to see absolutely anything beautiful : ) I'm never really disappointed if we don't see a particular something, as there are just endless other things to photograph!
Over the two days, we had 7 bear sightings, with three definitely different Black Bears (no Grizzlies), and possibly four. The rest of the sightings were of Bears we had already seen.
At one of our short stops, we walked across a small bridge that had patches of colourful Lichens growing on it. This particular tiny patch made me think of a bright orange flower, perhaps a Marigold, complete with green leaves : )
Thanks SO much, Cathy and Terry, for so kindly inviting me along on this trip. It's always so much fun to spend time with you guys, and you are both so knowledgeable. Thanks for so many chances to take photos of such a huge variety of subjects! I'll be able to enjoy going though them and sharing them for quite a while.
