Every creature has to eat
What birders go through : )
Dark-eyed Junco
My sincere thanks
The prairies in winter
Of days gone by
Yesterday's treat
A different backdrop
Weathered
False eyes
Where have all the birds gone?
Red
Rolling hills close to home
View from a barn doorway
Made to feel welcome
A tiny, ferocious hunter
Do you see what I see? Look very closely at the w…

Red Fox in a mountain location
One sweet, curious female
Ice as far as the eye can see

Looking for its next meal
A final goodbye
No equipment needed - just a tongue
How cute can you get?
Sunbathed mountain slopes
Concentration
Banana Tree trunks

Sunlit peaks


This photo was taken on 7 December 2014, on the way to the Kananaskis area of the mountains for the day with friends, Cathy and Terry. It was one of the many drive-by photos I took that day, the snow-covered scenery was just so beautiful.
We drove the area of Highway 40 that is still open (the rest of this highway is closed during the winter months) and also the Smith-Dorrien road. It was a day of mixed cloud and bright sunshine, resulting in rather spectacular light at times. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, especially the areas of Kananaskis where the snow was still clinging to the coniferous trees. As well as mountain scenery, we were also lucky enough to find two Moose to watch and photograph.
I always feel so privileged when I witness any kind of wildlife, especially so when you get the chance to watch a while and learn the behaviour of the animal or bird you are lucky enough to see. My friends were so delighted to be able to let me experience this yesterday, though I always tell them that just being in such spectacular scenery and being able to photograph the mountains is more than enough for me. This day, they did really, really well!
