This morning, my appointment to get two cortisone injections in my knees has just been cancelled and rescheduled for Monday. With a temperature of -9C (windchill -13C), I wish that meant I didn't need to go out in the cold and clear the snow off my car. However, I have a few errands that I really need to run.
On 17 October 2018, I managed to get over to Carburn Park for a walk. Though I have seen a number of Rusty Blackbirds, this species was still a bird I wanted to look out for. As it turned out, this was not one of my finds. However, I saw a few other things that were a delight to see, including meeting two Ferrets that were out for a walk (or rather, travelling in a stroller) with their 'people". Both are rescue animals, which was good to see.
"Ferret Rescue & Education Society (FRES) is a non-profit, charitable organization that was started by a group of devoted ferret owners in the Calgary area who recognized the need for a locally based rescue dedicated to ferrets. Our committed volunteers assist FRES in their goal to find permanent homes for all of the ferrets surrendered to us. They also provide shelter, basic needs, veterinary care, and if necessary, rehabilitation for all abused, unwanted, and abandoned ferrets regardless of their health status." From the FRES website.
Another lovely encounter was with the resident Great Horned Owl. Two friends that I bumped into in the park described where they had just seen it. Two or three strangers also helped pinpoint the exact tree : ) Over the years, we have seen Great Horned Owls in this park - always a joy. On this particular day, this owl was rather agitated and moved two or three times. One of the park's Eastern Gray Squirrels was teasing the owl.
As if a couple of 'rescue' Ferrets and a Great Horned Owl weren't enough, we were also very lucky to see a Harlequin Duck (male) out on the Bow River. When we first saw it, it wasn't too far out on the water, but it gradually swam further and further away, diving constantly. My photos were not the greatest, but they serve as a record of seeing this very handsome duck.
The weather was gorgeous, and much-deserved after the dreadful winter weather we have been having (in fall)! A perfect day to be outdoors, so I just couldn't resist. Lovely to see you, Pam, though unfortunate that you were just leaving when I arrived. Great to see you, Bonnie, and spend time with you. Had been a long time, no see.
....getting tired of all the fashion stuff, think it's time to get back to my other world of pics ;)

I am dead on me feet people. I've been working really hard and just need five minutes time out. A crate seems a perfect place to get some shut eye. I am really tired!

Vestrahorn is a mountain in south-east Iceland, noted for its two distinctive peaks and proximity to the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and East Fjords.
CN 2039 leads Minorca taconite loans slowly down the 3% grade into Two Harbors. Two Harbors is the southern post point of the Iron Range and the location where the taconite will be loaded on to lake freighters.

Apologies but this was a handheld night shot, so was a bit of a challenge.

The Two Harbors Light is the oldest operating lighthouse in the state of Minnesota. The lighthouse is located in the city of Two Harbors, overlooking Lake Superior's Agate Bay. The construction of the lighthouse was completed in 1892, and it is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 49 foot tower is made of brick and the head keeper's residence is attached. Nowadays, the lighthouse is still used as an active aid to navigation, as well as being a museum and a bed and breakfast. I took this shot thru a chainlink fence 'cause I was too cheap to pay for the tour...
Arctic turned out to be a bit of a bully so we replaced him with two new yearlings. Iggy pop in front and Icarus behind. (They come with registered names). Although a year younger Iggy is larger than the others. I think he has a bit of giraffe in him.
Reprise of a shot that I did a couple of weeks ago. Another view of the same staircase, this time with my 12mm prime wide-angle lens, and twice as much me's tha last time. I like this version more than the previous one.
HSS!

Just 15 days ago (21/12/25) I photographed this market umbrella at the opening of The Village Green in our local shopping centre,
Then Crazy Tuesday annouced the theme for 6th January - two colours, so I had to go and take some more pics. This time I also used a circular polarizer filter.
