I love Alberta landscapes

As you can see from this image, the weather was simply beautiful yesterday. I was so lucky to be invited to go SE of Calgary to the Blackie area with friends Cathy and Terry, to do some exploring : ) Blackie is located approximately 70 kilometres (or 85 kilometres, depending on where you read it) southeast of Calgary. We stopped at this particular spot to admire this old homestead. The snow drifts were untouched, pristine, and with glorious bright blue patches and you can just see the very distant mountains. Believe it or not, we saw 17 owls, 12 Snowy Owls and 5 Great Horned Owls!!! We were thrilled at this spot that a Horned Lark was perched on the fence, singing its little heart out : ) The first photo I uploaded this morning - Red Fox - shows how our great day started off! Thanks so much for a great day, you guys!
