Releasing light
Golden
Little treasures on a log
Great Horned Owl - posting just for the record
Sunrise colour over the mountain peaks
Lilium martagon - the beauty of a Lily
Let the light shine in
Happy Thanksgivng, everyone!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Day 6, Golden-fronted Woodpecker male / Melanerpes…
Full of light
Clouds over Weed Lake
Backlit simplicity
Welcoming the sun
Like the sun on a grey, gloomy, rainy day
Hoar frost on barbed-wire
Sunset over Great Falls, US
The mountains at sunrise
When the mountains turn pink
Clasped
Beautiful Sacred Lotus
Winter sunrise.jpg
Sensuous curves of snow
Perfectly textured
Glowing leaves of Mountain Ash
Greeting the sun
I'm on a roll
In mushroom paradise
Orange Star
Strawflower
Out of the darkness comes light... in memory of 11…
Goldenrod
Skeleton trees
Multi-coloured
A real character
Silver Maple
When the sun shines down
Happy Thanksgiving
In the light
Daisy
Let the light shine through
Promise of spring
Floral pink
White on black
Eye-catching
Glowing
A great pick-me-up
Glowing from within
Mountain light
Footsteps
Can't beat a red barn
Bowing their frosty heads
As the weeks fly by ..
Beauty on beauty
Pink and pretty
Sunset over the Grand Tetons
Spider's delight
Glorious sunset over Great Falls, Montana
If you go down to the woods today...
Colour for a rainy day
Deep in the dark forest
Majestic
.
Doug, may your spirit always be free to roam
The only time I look tall and slim, ha
Queen of the Lily Pad
Almost as good as a warm, sunny day
The jaws of death
Fall, last year
Illuminated
Little glimmer of light
A precious find
Little beacon of light

A light shines within
This photo was taken two days ago, on 8 September 2015. In the morning, I joined a group of friends for a three-hour stroll at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. 38 bird species were seen, though I didn't manage to see any of the tiny, fast-moving Warblers. It was good to see 28 Wood Ducks, but they were far, far away, in an area that is still closed due to devastating flood damage. The Sanctuary had been closed for about two years for this reason and only very recently re-opened just a part of the area.
The Calgary Zoo is very close to the Sanctuary, so after our morning walk, I decided to call in at the Zoo. I hadn't been for about a year and I really missed going there. Of course, many of the garden flowers were past their prime, but I did find a few that were fit to photograph. I love photographing the Water Lilies. They always seem to glow, as if they had a light inside.

I knew I wouldn't be able to walk far, having already been walking all morning, but I really wanted to get to the ENMAX Conservatory to see what was going on. I had been longing all summer to see the tropical butterflies and plants. The butterfly season is coming to an end for these tropical beauties, but there were still plenty of them to be seen. Also, this month, the parking lot that I use will close for the winter and I don't like the drive back home from the north parking area, using Deerfoot Trail, so tend not to go to the Zoo all winter.
There was so much activity going on at the Zoo two days ago. People everywhere, carrying large animals wrapped in white, protective coverings, preparing for the upcoming ILLUMINASIA, Lantern & Garden Festival. Each animal is an individual lantern and there are so many of them. I noticed that several of the real animals in their enclosures were watching all the unaccustomed activity, which made me smile.
A good day, despite the overcast sky, and plenty of photo opportunities. Recently, I have been finding far fewer things to photograph, with fall on its way, so a day like this was more than welcome.
