Marigold is a 6-year-old female Striped Skunk, who cannot be released into the wild. She "belongs" to the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation" and is one of their animal Ambassadors. I met her yesterday evening and attempted to get a few photos of her. I'd never taken photos of Skunk before. She was the wriggliest little creature imaginable, so my photos are far from the greatest, but at least I can add Striped Skunk to my Wild Animals of Alberta Set : ) "Marigold is a six year-old striped skunk. She was brought to AIWC as an orphan after her parents had been removed from a landowner's property. Marigold was the only survivor of her litter." From AIWC.

A Shrubby Cinquefoil bush was growing at the corner where the lengths of fencing met. I liked the contrast of light and dark in the distant fence. Today, I attended an excellent one-day Photography Course put on for the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park (FFCPP). Part of the course in the afternoon was to spend about two and a half hours wandering around the area near the Visitor's Centre and the Ranch. We were to take photos, keeping in mind some of the things we had learned in the morning. These are five of the photos I took and I will upload a few more next time.

A wedding was going to be taking place when I came across rows and rows of these startling white chairs arranged in the garden of the Bow Valley Ranch. The sun was shining through slits in the seat backs and casting these grey shadows on the chairs.

These beetles are so tiny, but always look so bright and beautiful when seen large!

This image reminds me of one of my very recent fireworks photos! However, these are two seeds caught on the side of an old, red, wooden wagon located at the Bow Valley Ranch in Fish Creek Park. Not sure, but I think they could be Canada Thistle seeds. Today, I attended an excellent one-day Photography Course put on for the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park (FFCPP).
