Yesterday, my youngest daughter and I went down to the Stampede Grounds, to soak up the feel of the annual "Greatest Show on Earth". We don't spend long down there, but we always look forward to the the Indian Village, Mini-Donuts and the baby pigs, lol. We like to wander through the agriculture area, too, seeing the beautiful horses, ponies, miniature horses and cattle. These are two of the tiny piglets that were with their Mom, each one a different colour from plain pink to mottled black. Not sure, but I think they were three days old. I must look up attendance numbers online - I'm curious because of the devastating Flood of the Century, which caused so much damage down at the Grounds (and everywhere else). You'd never guess that three weeks ago, the whole Grounds were under water. There were SO many people down there, enjoying themselves, which was so good to see. www.calgarystampede.com

My youngest daughter and I love to go and see Momma pig and her piglets at the Stampede Grounds during Stampede. There were 11 of these beautiful little pink piggies and they had just been fed/ They love to climb over each other and snuggle into a huge heap of hairy bodies : ) Posting ridiculously early this morning, as I have a long, long day of botanizing east of the city, at Horseshoe Canyon today. This amazing canyon is near Drumheller, in the Badlands of Alberta (dinosaur country). Something like a two-hour drive to get out there.

These tiny piglets were a joy to see at one of the displays at the Calgary Stampede Grounds, not far from downtown. I love piglets - and it's always interesting to see what a variety of colours and patterns can be seen in just one litter.
