I always love mushroom gills - to me, the underneath of a cap can be even more beautiful than the top. I was rather intrigued by the pattern on the stalk. Seen on 3rd August last year, on a hike at Marston Creek, Kananaskis.

The Golden Eagle really has amazing feather detail. This beautiful raptor was seen at the Coaldale Bird of Prey Centre, near Lethbridge, southern Alberta, a week ago. I was there with a bunch of friends again today - and again, the weather was great. This time, I had the chance to have a Barn Owl on my (gloved) hand, as well as the tiny Burrowing Owl. Also got some better (but still rather distant) photos of a gorgeous Western Tanager flying around the grounds there.

Another photo of the young Great Horned Owl that I was so lucky to come across on one of my walks. Not sure who was the most fascinated - him/her or me!
