My favourite gallery in the museum, many small spaces dedicated to a variety of human rights issues in Canada, from those with disabilities, to migrant workers and refugees, to segregation in the 1940s.
Had a great day out a Radipole Lake today!
Started out alright, with various Cetti's Warblers singing.
When I got to Buddlia Loop, saw some Bearded Tits, these were a first for me for a fair few years!
When I got to North Hide saw the Marsh Harriers, including the Male attacking a Buzzard, possibly for territory (?)
When I got to the Hut/Shop, had a little time left so I went inside for a bit. Saw a large batch (is "batch" the right word???) of buzzards. I look at them through my binoculars. I look at the tail...
I don't believe it, but it's forked, buzzards are rounded, as are marsh harriers, it was too big for a kestrel or sparrowhawk, so that left one really (it wasn't an Osprey, and I'd be suprised if it was any other raptor), it was a Red Kite. By the time I had told the wardens/volenteers, (which was very quickly) I had lost it, as it was in the sky, and if you know how to find a Red Kite in a "batch" of buzzards, which are far away and constanly moving, I'd like to know! =]
This shot was taken right at the start of my walk around the reserve. These three geese were sat just off the island, and by the time I had finished by 2 hour walk around the reserve the had gone! (who can blame them!)
This picture doesn't do justice to the fiery sky in Kananaskis country in the Canadian Rockies. It seemed like the entire atmosphere might erupt into flames any moment, which was appropriate, since the upper air was full of sooty particles from an enormous forest fire in a nearby part of the Rockies, and the morning sun was reflecting off of those bits. Six years later we visited Marble Canyon in Kootenay National Park - the site of the devastating fire - and saplings covered the ground, but it will be a long time before it looks like a forest again.

AS TRAINS SNAKE THEIR WAY DOWN TO THE KICKING HORSE PASS AND THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE, THEY CIRCLE DEEP INTO THE MOUNTAINS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VALLEY. THE TWO GIANT UNDERGROUND LOOPS THEY FOLLOW ARE SPIRAL TUNNELS.
BECAUSE EACH TUNNEL MAKES A COMPLETE SPIRALLING TURN, TRAINS ACTUALLY CROSS OVER OR UNDER THEMSELVES. FROM THIS VIEWPOINT A WEST BOUND CPR FREIGHT 8922 & 8754 IS ABOUT TO ENTER THE UPPER PORTAL AND WILL EMERGE 15m BELOW IT, THE LAST WAGONS WILL STILL BE ENTERING THE UPPER PORTAL. BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA. 7/MAY/2015.
Se acerca la fecha de regreso para estos 42 estudiantes de 5° que viajaron a Windsor Canadá, por 4 semanas.
Taken with my first camera - a 4MP Casio point and shoot.

Happy Canada Day 2012! I love fireworks! This year I forgot to bring my tripod, but I did have my shutter release cable WHICH WORKS AWESOME (thanks again Uncle Rocky)! Warren and I took the Kamloops steam train which went across the Thompson River and parked right under the fireworks.
