Another photo of some of the beautiful Bleeding Hearts that were in bloom at the Reader Rock Garden on 5 June 2013.
I was out all Saturday and Sunday this weekend, starting with a three-hour morning walk in Griffith Woods on Saturday morning. The sky was blue with clouds, but was pleasant, and so I thought that, as I was already about half way to Cochrane, that I might as well drive all the way to see if I could see any Great Gray Owls. Well, by the time I approached Cochrane, there was a massive black cloud hanging over Cochrane and the area I wanted to drive to, and then the rain began. Not a good idea to drive on hilly gravel roads when they are wet, at least not in my kind of vehicle, so I only drove part way. When I turned around to come back south, I passed just one field that was now rather white! I pulled over to look at the edge of the road, and sure enough it was hail that had piled up. Glad I missed that happening by about 15 or 20 minutes. Needless to say, I was out of luck with seeing owls, though I did see two Swainson's Hawks on fence posts. I decided to return home via Bragg Creek and from there, I took the backroads back to the city instead of highway 22X. Got another chance to see Mountain Bluebirds bringing food for their babies, and I was thrilled to bits to catch sight of a very, very distant baby Killdeer. I've always wanted to see one - but a lot closer. Maybe I'll be in better luck next time.
