This Goldeneye male was visiting the Calgary Zoo on the same day I was, on 9 April 2013. Though the reflections look rather like autumn colours, the colour comes from a nearby children's climbing frame.
I was a bit bored today and tried to find something to take a picture of. Well, that's what I found. I like the outcome of it.
What about you? :-)
Oh, and what do you think it is?
The most delightful aspect of Autumn is its colours! There are all possible hues of red, yellow and green.
the heading says it all!
Two spreads in one image... ok! I have decided on the first palette to try and see if i can survive with it. Oh! I miss the large mixing areas of my beloved metal tin.... BTW Notice how it HAS changed since last night..,,,
WoW! A fairly busy day in the new sketchbook today- 10 pages (5 spreads)... they are little pages though!
Friday, 21 July 2023: our temperature just after noon is 26°C
(windchill is 26°C). Sunrise was at 5:46 am and sunset is at 9:38 pm. The next three days are forcast to be 29°C-30°C. The brutal heat is back across the Prairies this weekend along with the risk of more thunderstorms.
Yesterday, 20 July, I went for my first physiotheray appointment for my injured right shoulder. Apparently, I have a frozen shoulder as well as the completely torn tendons from my trip and bad fall in September 2022. Great physio assessment and treatment for an hour and a half, which included acupuncture, TENS, and suction cups.
A touch of filter was added to this image in post-processing.
Like in so many other places, and for so many other people, our weather has been crazy - either smoky, hot, or rainy - or all three at once. The other day, the smoke from our Alberta wildfires returned to the Calgary area. Almost every day the past few weeks, the weather forecast has included risk of thunderstorm, rain, sometimes smoke. Some days, the forecast turned out to be accurate, many days it turned out to be wrong. Anyway, on 13 July 2023, I needed to get out for a while. Also, I read that the berry U-picks at the Saskatoon Farm start on 17 July, which will mean that the parking lots will be packed, so I wanted to avoid that.
I hadn't been to the Farm since last year, perhaps a couple of months after September, when I had my bad trip and fall. During all the (7!) winter months, there was no way I wanted to be walking on snow and ice, given all the damage to my body from my fall, and definitely wanting to avoid any risk of slipping or tripping again! I really missed calling in at the Farm and having either a delicious breakfast or lunch. So, finally, I made myself do this on 13 July 2023.
It felt good wandering the grounds and walking through the greenhouse, taking a few photos. Fresh garden vegetables have started being available, but not yet broccoli, etc.. Knowing that I only wanted a light bag to carry back to the car, I chose a few white potatoes (delicious) and a bunch of golden beets.
After the Farm, I had planned to drive straight home but changed my mind and took the longer way back, via Blackie. The canola fields were just beautiful. A few birds were seen, including one of my favourites, a Wilson's Snipe. I had seen a Snipe at this location before, but it was not my more usual place.
The weather was a mix of Alberta wildfire smoke, wind, overcast, and rain (part of the time). Far from ideal conditions for photography, but I did my best.
