Anne Elliott's photos

Noticed this beauty along the bank of a small creek in a local park. It was all alone, close to some exposed tree roots.

Amazing the pattern deep inside a Dandelion when you actually stop to have a close look! Reminds me of a golf ball!

Not a very good photo but I couldn't get over the eyes on this Horse Fly. Talk about designer sunglasses!

This is part of a Chinook Arch that Calgary is famous for. We welcome the change in weather that these arches bring - usually somewhat windy and warmer and in winter the Chinook wind brings warmer temperatures that melt the snow and ice. Not good news, though, for Migraine sufferers!

We encountered this 10-year-old Mountain Sheep on Highway 40, going through Kananaskis. It was very unsteady on its feet, and we were concerned that it might get hit by some vehicle coming round the corner. A ranger happened to come by and she told us that she knew about this particular animal. The average life-span is 7-8 years.

I used the full 10x zoom on my little Olympus C750 to get as close as possible to this gorgeous sky. I watched the tail end of the sunset from North Glenmore Park, Calgary, and enjoyed seeing the distant peaks of the Rocky Mountains silhouetted by such a bright sky. I believe this photo was taken in November 2005.

This single rose hip was begging to be photographed!

This was taken on 2nd January 2006 near Nanton, south of Calgary, Alberta.

Sunset seen from the Cochrane Reserve, north west of Calgary. This was taken during an annual Bird Count on Boxing Day, 26th December 2005.
