Autumn's glory
Greater White-fronted Geese, Marsland Basin
Farmland of the Alberta foothills
CL Ranches, Alberta
How I love Alberta!
Marsland Basin
The whites and blues of winter
Winter colours
A road less travelled
Golden Eagle along the fenceline
In the bleak midwinter
Foothills and mountains
Desolate
A winter day in southern Alberta
A fine old barn
And they call this winter (in Alberta)?
Remembering the snow
The Famous Five from a distance
A sky filled with clouds
Rolling hills and distant peaks
Elk siblings or friends
Clouds, reflected
One of ten Meadowlarks seen yesterday
Singing its little heart out
Landscape colours
The long road south
Our beautiful foothills on an overcast day
Distant haze
When fall colours are just a memory
A patterned sky
The beauty of fall
One spectacular fall day
Following the fenceline
Sunrise colour over the mountain peaks
Nanton Christmas Bird Count
Afternoon light on the foothills
The beautiful mountains of Alberta
Winter in the Nanton, Alberta, area
Winter textures
One of my favourite views
Alberta's beautiful foothills and mountains
A hazy view with Dandelions
A favourite road
Caught in a mesocyclone
Heading into the mountains
Dark clouds rolling in, yesterday
A view at Marsland Basin
View looking west towards the Rockies
Exploring Timber Ridge, Porcupine Hills
Looking towards our beautiful mountains
Imagine waking up to this each morning
The joy of Dandelions
One of my favourite barns
Fields of golden stubble
A quick, drive-by shot
Red barn in a beautiful setting
The golds and blues at Frank Lake
Old and new
Roller coaster roads in winter
A favourite tree
The old and the new
Wrinkled sky
A barn to be proud of
Old homestead in sunset light
Mountains at sunset
Barn with a difference
Red barn on a sunny day
Layers and stripes
Old barn with a view
The wonder of hoar frost
Old barn on the prairie
Rolling hills close to home
A final goodbye
Rolling hills in winter
I love our blues and whites of winter
Frosty fence and fields
Inukshuk Santa
Sunset on the Prairies
Glorious, hoar frost day
Hoar frost and Mackerel sky
Light and shadow
Menacing
Yesterday's storm clouds near Skiff, Alberta
Western Meadowlark
Here today, maybe gone tomorrow
In contrast to pain and suffering
Clouds over Frank Lake
Our wonderful Alberta skies
A sky bursting with clouds
Birders, doing what they do best
The balance of land and sky
Western Meadowlark
The olden days
Springtime on the prairie
Prairie blues and golds
Sunrise over the mountains
Herronton Elevator
Time for the spring melt
Winter sunrise.jpg
Starling murmuration.jpg
Elk at a Ranch
Sunrise pink
Zoomed to the max
When winter is beautiful
Old prairie homestead
A winter moment
A beautiful setting

Our foothills in Impressive Art
I very rarely use any of the settings on my camera, but every once in a while, I will try Impressive Art. I still prefer a completely natural look, but posting this for fun. Posting late this morning (maybe around 11:00 am?), as I needed some sleep. According to the Help Forum, some people are having a problem with seeing other peoples's images (and their own). I was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong on Flickr today - most unusually quiet here today.
Yesterday morning, 17 September 2015, I went with friends on a walk that started (after the first heavy frost of the season overnight) at the Bow Valley Ranch area in Fish Creek Park. No sign of the Great Horned Owl pair. We then drove to the end of the park road, to walk in the Boat Launch area. Perhaps the highlight of the morning was seeing a very distant female Pileated Woodpecker, plus 35 American White Pelicans and 20 Double-crested Cormorants and all "the usual".
After the walk, I decided to drive SW of the city and SW of Millarville. A few years ago, after a day of botanizing someone's land, we called in (with permission) at a nearby field to see a wonderful display of Amanita mushrooms. We don't get the red ones (Fly Agaric / Amanita muscaria) with small white spots here, but we have seen bright yellow ones and sometimes even an almost orange one, with small white spots/flecks. I think I have only ever seen these three times - at West Bragg Creek, Rod Handfield's land and this field near to his land, and I think Marsden Creek in Kananaskis. I was so longing to see one again and thought it was worth the drive just to check. Well, I found the field easily, but had forgotten about the sign there that said No Trespassing, No shooting, Patrol Area. I wasn't sure what Patrol Area meant, but I could almost imagine several Dobermans being released to attack me! I never go anywhere that has a No Trespassing sign, anyway. So, I walked through the trees along the edge of the field and tried to peer into the field, being careful not to catch the barbed-wire fence. I caught sight of a cluster of three fungi that looked like they were Amanitas, though they were fully "opened" and I couldn't see any spots. Got one lousy photo, but I did want to add it to my album and maybe it will be enough for ID confirmation or correction sometime?
It was a lovely, sunny day yesterday, with a high of 15C, and the scenery I drove through was beautiful. Thankfully, the orange Engine Warning light didn't come on in my car at all. Next time it does come on, I have to take the car to be checked again and hopefully they can find a code that will tell them what is causing this problem. They couldn't find any codes when they had my car a few days ago, which is frustrating.
