Sunrise over the mountains
Follow the lines
The day before Christmas
Trumpeter Swans
Springtime on the prairie
The olden days
Five Swans a-swimming
Here comes the rain
Layers and stripes
Fields of golden stubble
A frosty prairie view
The only one
White beauty
When the clouds roll in
Fancy silo with stairs
The Famous Five from a distance
A sky filled with clouds
Rolling hills and distant peaks
Soothing simplicity
Clouds, reflected
Old barn in winter
An old barn in winter
A little eye-catcher
Lapland Longspur? No, a female Red-winged Blackbi…
One of my favourite barns
Meadow Vole for a tasty snack
Lying on a bed of hoarfrost
Stubble pattern
Rural decay
Old house next to metal silo
New "barn", Granary Road
A sunrise sky that lasted till sunset
Under a Chinook arch
King of silos
Two male Snowy Owls in the same field
You never know where you'll see a Snowy Owl
Before winter arrived
A white world
Prairie life in winter
When the world turns white
Disappearing into nothingness
Hoar frost tree and vanishing fields
Short-eared Owl

Some white patches have eyes : )
An early Christmas present, 2013

Old prairie homestead
The beauty of golden stubble
Old and new on the prairies
A beautiful setting
Wide open spaces that go on forever
Stripes of colour
Fun in the sun
Christmas Eve day on the prairies
Light through the storm clouds
The row of five
Swans galore
Three in a row
In a farmer's field
Stubble stripes
Prairie drama

Sunrise pink
This image was partially zoomed in (full is 48x), so the mountains look closer than they really are. Spent the whole day SE of the city again on 13 March 2014, with friends Cathy and Terry. What a slow day it was for much of the time. Took us just over 6 hours to find the first Snowy Owl - just the tiniest, distant white speck on the ground, far across a huge field. We were beginning to wonder if maybe all the Snowies had already left to fly north, so we were happy to see this one, and a second one about four hours later, perched on a distant power pole. No photo opportunities for these owls, but it felt to good to know that there were at least these two owls still in the area. We had no luck at all finding a Short-eared Owl - very different from 7th March, when we saw 8 of them, six in flight and two on the ground. In addition to the 2 Snowies, we did see 9 Great Horned Owls, though, some on nests. Weather was beautiful with some interesting clouds for part of the day, clearing much later. We were just in time to see the last of the pink sunrise colour and light on the distant mountains - always so beautiful. Some of the fields looked pretty bare, while others were still covered in snow. The "heat-wave" distortion was really bad all day long, making good, clear shots impossible.
