Black-tailed Prairie Dog

This is a typical view of one of these Black-tailed Prairie Dogs that reside at the Calgary Zoo. Amazing how they can live on thin bits of "greens" and yet end up so rotund, lol! "In Canada, Richardson’s ground squirrels are ubiquitous throughout the mixed-grass and fescue prairies of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, whereas Black-tailed prairie dogs are found only in the vicinity of Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan." From www.albertapcf.org . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-tailed_prairie_dog Some of you might be interested in this link to an article about an "Ice Age plant revived after 30,000 years in frozen burrow | CTV News". Thanks for sending me this link, Gerry (altamons)! www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/SciTech/20120220/Ice-Age-plant-resurre...

Echinacea flowers are one of my favourite garden flowers, but it was the bokeh in this image that caught my eye. Photographed at Reader Rock Garden on August 11th.

"My Room" by John C. Bassindale

This little sketch was the second drawing that one of my friends in England discovered amongst my brother's papers recently. I suspect it may have been an assignment when he was at College many, many years ago. From what I can remember, it's not the right layout to have been his bedroomin at home, so perhaps this was his room when he was away at College or else it was an "imaginary" room. I burst into tears when I saw my brother sitting at his drafting table!
