Ageless beauty
Taken yesterday, 28 April 2017, when I spent the day with my daughter. She was not up to a long day's drive, so we went to the Saskatoon Farm for breakfast and a wander round their grounds. I always love to see and photograph their Sunflowers, at any season. Afterwards, we called in at Spruce-it-Up Garden Centre, which neither of us had visited before. From there, I drove westwards as far as the Priddis area, where we had hoped to see a few birds. Not too much to be seen, though we did see a very welcome little Yellow-rumped Warbler, various hawks including a rather distant, Rough-legged Hawk perched on a lichen-covered fence, and several Mountain Bluebirds.
Typical weather - a mix of sun, cloud, rain and even a few snowflurries, but at least it didn't rain heavily all day. Thanks for an enjoyable day, Rachel! Lovely to spend it with you.
I was so short of sleep and ended up sleeping all morning today, which is why I'm posting rather late. If I have time, I might just add later a few more photos taken yesterday, so that I can get back to dealing with my Trinidad & Tobago captures. Two back-to-back day trips coming up, though, so editing time will be very scarce. I have to get up in the middle of the night for the second trip, or I may even stay up the whole night to make sure I don't oversleep. What we birders/photographers do in the hope of taking photos!
