End of a cold winter's day
Bring on the warmth
Love the sparkle
A gentle winter scene
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Greenness
Social and intelligent
Wants to play
The elusive Snow Goose
When birds are few and far between ...
Like miniature pine trees
Got my sheds in a row
For those unfamiliar with snow : )
Survival of the fittest
My thoughts turn to spring
I love bright jackets
Happy New Year, everyone!
A prickly glow
All in the name of birding
Purple Columbine

A rural cutie
Great Horned Owl
Up close
In gentle folds
Around the Nanton area

Let the imagination fly
Delicate folds
Those water droplets again

A little bit of sparkle
What do you mean, you've got no food?
Just liked the colours
Usnea lichen
Delicate bokeh

Droplets on green
Golden droplets
When I grow up, will I look like you?
Floral flames

Swift Fox
Another photo of one of the small Swift Foxes at the Calgary Zoo, taken mid-September.
"Captive breeding of swift foxes began in 1973 through a privately run program. In 1978,
the species was officially designated as "extirpated" in Canada by COSEWIC, and a
national recovery plan was approved in 1995 to reintroduce swift foxes and create a
self-sustaining Canadian population. The species is now (August 20th, 2003) listed as "endangered" by COSEWIC. Swift foxes were first officially released in Alberta in 1983. By 1996, 540 foxes had been released in the Alberta-Saskatchewan border and the Milk River Ridge areas, parts of the species' native range. Most animals released were bred in captivity; the remainder were wild-born animals imported from the United States. At present (August 20th 2003), it is estimated that there are approximately 96 swift foxes in Alberta, most of them the offspring of released foxes. The population is stable or increasing slightly, but the species remains extremely vulnerable because of its small numbers and limited distribution."
