Hen and rooster at the Saskatoon Farm

These two birds were with several other kinds of chicken and two or three Turkeys at the Saskatoon Farm on 22 May 2016. This is a great place to visit, roughly a 20-minute drive south of Calgary. They have a huge pen (cage) that contains these birds. They were constantly on the move, but I managed to get a few photos through the wires.

My daughter and I spent a great day together, as a slightly early treat for my birthday : ) Always my favourite way to spend a day!

We weren't quite sure what we would be doing, as it depended on how my daughter was feeling - so much pain. We did know for sure that we were going straight to the Saskatoon Farm for a delicious meal, though. We took a look inside two of their greenhouses, full of colourful flowers. Not a day for walking outside, as it poured with rain the whole day.

After the Saskatoon Farm, we went westwards into Okotoks, so that we could visit the little rustic antique place, All through the House. From there, we drove various back roads, looking for any birds that might not be hiding from the cold and rain. I was so happy that we saw a couple of Snipe standing on fence posts, as they make such beautiful photos. We even saw several hawks - more than I usually see when I go for a drive.

Thanks so much, Rachel, for a much-enjoyed day and thank you for the (as always) carefully chosen gifts and cards. Most of all, thank you for spending the day with me!
