Evening Grosbeak
Pink and perfect
Sharing a meal of Dandelions and grass
Keeping an eye on things
A highlight of our May Species Count
Eared Grebe
Birthday flowers
Wilson's Snipe
Scaup pair
On the prowl
Beauty in nature
Northern Flicker excavating a cavity
Our wonderful Alberta skies
A real beauty
Horsetails
A touch of England
A quick glance in our direction
Soft as velvet
Dark-eyed Junco
Beyond the treetops
What a big beak you have
Near Morant's Curve
Pink and purple beauty
A different kind of perch
A tiny, speckled find
A cheery trio
Takes a lot of grass and leaves to fill a Bear
The "rusty farm gate" bird
Little Bluebird on a snowy day
Not missing a thing
A disappearing act
Totally at home
Reflected beauty
Columbian Ground Squirrel
A happy sign of spring
Happily feeding
Added for colour
Not dressed in their Sunday best
Majestic Castle Mountain
So handsome
Metal and stone
Happiness is ... playing in a puddle
Moth on a washroom window
Through the Rocky Mountains
Here one minute, gone the next

I love Dandelions


Took this photo at the Saskatoon Farm, SE of Calgary, on 24 May 2014, when my youngest daughter treated me to a delicious lunch there for my birthday. At the moment, Dandelions are blooming everywhere, turning the ground into a beautiful carpet of gold. They look so cheery after our long, harsh winter, though of course they won't be as pretty once they have all turned to seed : )
"The dandelion plant is a beneficial weed, with a wide range of uses, and is even a good companion plant for gardening. Its taproot will bring up nutrients for shallower-rooting plants, and add minerals and nitrogen to soil. It is also known to attract pollinating insects and release ethylene gas which helps fruit to ripen." From Wikipedia.
