Barn on a hoarfrosty day
A surprise to all

Our beautiful Foothills
Hiding in a cavity
The Famous Five again
A favourite tree

Looking into the sun
A patchwork of lichens
Almost impossible to find
Gathering food for the winter
Tree Swallow
Weathered character
A different pose
Highly invasive Caragana

Close watch
No two are the same
Sitting in the middle of the lake
You can always count on the Chickadees
Weird and wonderful Badland erosion

Snowy Owl and pellet
The old and the new
Common Goldeneye
Baby Barn Owl
Autumn Crocus
Getting ready to dive

Green on green
Delicate damselfly
Another car gets a licking
High on the hill
The colours of summer
Bohemian Waxwing in glorious sunshine
Black Bear from last spring
One lone mushroom

Columbian Ground Squirrel
These little Columbian Ground Squirrels are seen only in the mountains, not in the city. Photographed this one when friends, Cathy and Terry, and I, had a quick stop on 15 May 2014. Saw quite a few of them during our two-day trip through the Rocky Mountains, west of Calgary.
I always think of these animals eating grass and plants, so I found the following information interesting.
"Diet includes a wide variety of vegetation: roots, bulbs, stems, leaves, seeds, and berries. Also eats some animal food (e.g., insects, mice, dead fish). May climb into trees and shrubs to obtain buds and fruits. Spends about 70% of year in hibernation."
