A rock of many colours

A beautiful display of Lichen colours on a small rock at 12 Mile Coulee, in north west Calgary. The colours are beautifully vibrant at the moment. Of course, I can't identify a single one of these Lichens. If you have time, you might want to check it out in large size.

After the kill

Not the greatest photo, especially as I couldn't avoid the branch in the foreground, but I've never seen this before - a Great Horned Owl with blood all over its face after killing lunch for his family. This is the male down at Burnsmead, Fish Creek Park on 26th April. Today, we saw his little owlet on the nest - oh, so adorable! I got a few very distant photos of baby and I need to check out a feather that was just in front of it. It looked rather like a Ring-necked Pheasant feather - if it is, then they have been eating well, LOL.
