Pronghorns are usually skittish, but this one seemed to be curious, and allowed me to make several images that I treasure. Do not use this image on blogs, websites or other media without permission. © 2014 William Armstrong. All rights reserved.

Every August I photograph these lilies that grow behind a neighbour's fence. The image without the aroma is only half the experience. Do not use this image on blogs, websites or other media without permission. © 2014 William Armstrong. All rights reserved.

I enjoyed watching this fellow as the light of the setting sun reflected off his beak. Then he decided to take off. Thank you, pelican. Do not use this image on blogs, websites or other media without permission. © 2015 William Armstrong. All rights reserved.

After a splashy takeoff, this pelican became airborne. They look a bit awkward taking off, but in flight they are graceful. Do not use this image on blogs, websites or other media without permission. © 2015 William Armstrong. All rights reserved.

I'm always awe struck by seeing a bison up close. This encounter was a surprise. As I came over a rise on the road, this fellow was grazing by the side of the road. Do not use this image on blogs, websites or other media without permission. © 2015 William Armstrong. All rights reserved.

Crocus 2016-2

16 Apr 2016 101
A reliable sign of Spring in Saskatchewan, the crocus appears amid dead grasses, even when temperatures overnight are below freezing. Give the crocus some warm sun in the afternoon, and it opens to absorb the warmth. Do not use this image on blogs, websites or other media without permission. © 2016 William Armstrong.
