Our wonderful Alberta skies
Clouds over Frank Lake
Driving in a sea of gold
Lost as the sun sets
Here comes the rain
Old and new
Fields of golden stubble
Jazzed-up silos
A frosty prairie view
Fenced in
The old and the new
Along a country back road

Birders, doing what they do best
The landscape is pretty flat in the area around Frank Lake, SE of Calgary, but I love it. Land and sky just seem to go on and on forever. This photo was taken on 27 April 2014, on a day that was spent with a group of friends, driving around the lake, checking to see what bird species we could find. It started off extremely foggy with a touch of hoarfrost. Perhaps not the ideal weather for seeing birds, but the fog did eventually clear and the sun came out. It turned out to be a beautiful day and most enjoyable, with a good number of bird species found - a total of 53 species. All the birds were extremely distant, apart from a couple of owl nests and a pair of Tree Swallows, so my photos are more or less limited to landscape, hoarfrost, etc., all of which I love.

Happy day! I've just found out that if you click on the row of three dots, then RIGHT click on Edit Date, you can open a photo in another tab or window and simply copy all the tags from there. When pasted in the tags of a new photo, they post perfectly. This was one of the things I really did not like about the new Flickr experience, until today, so that's one less thing to dislike.
