Irresistibly cute
Mule Deer on the prairies
A fine rural relic
Great Gray Owl in early morning light
Another day closer to spring
It's mine!
Such a fun Moose
Way, way up
Bow River, E end of Fish Creek Park
Handsome Pileated Woodpecker
Blending in
Cormorants and their reflections
One of my favourite finds
Just a different perch
Little nut and seed eater of the forest
Pileated Woodpecker at work
Horned Lark
Summer dreams
Making sure we go the right way
Horse on the prairie
Old barn with a view
Layers and stripes
Red barn on a sunny day
Stinkhorn fungus / Mutinus elegans
Purple and white
White Admiral
Like finding a needle in a haystack
The wonder of hoar frost
Brown on brown
Touched by the sun
Mountain Sheep
Time for another Pika shot
American Three-toed Woodpecker
Tilting
"Just" a Mallard
Yesterday's well-earned treat
Coyote relaxing in the sun
Gentle and curious
Temporarily puffed after preening
Delicate hoar frost
Pileated Woodpecker female
How did he get there?
A prairie view
Cold, bleak and frosty
Our mountains in winter

Newly burst Poppy


A photo from my archives, posted for its much-needed vibrant colour. Taken at the Reader Rock Garden on 4 July 2012.
It snowed here overnight and it's still snowing this morning (6 February 2015). Everywhere is white and the trees look like they are covered in frost. The temperature is -13C (windchill -17C) this morning, but it's supposed to get up to +8C (windchill +4C) this afternoon. We have been so spoilt for weeks now, with temperatures that have been wonderfully mild for mid winter, but the last few days have seen a return to winter.
Yesterday was about as gloomy and overcast as one could get. I knew there would be no point in going out with my camera, so I stayed home the whole day. The temperature doesn't bother me too much, as long as the sun is shining, but there was no sign of sunshine or blue sky all day long. I ended up watching more TV than usual and it seemed that every channel I turned to had some sad program playing! Movie or News, people were getting injured or killed and families were sitting around in hospital rooms. Not what I needed - tomorrow, it will have been five weeks since our oldest daughter passed away, so scenes like this were all too familiar and painful. I ended up getting migraine twice yesterday - I've only had it about six times in quite a few years. So, today, I must clear the snow off my car and get out for a while. Every day that passes, means we are one day closer to spring : )
