Wow - I was knocked out by the sky today

A rainbow and clouds - wish I had my new camera with me but I didn't. The second last picture of grasses makes me think of Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Snow to shorebirds


The mountains ringing the Bow Valley are all covered with snow!
Maybe these shots will cool off those of you in the sweltering heat.
We are still waiting for summer and now we are deep into fall.
Charlie gave me a new camera for my birthday and I love it. I can now take closeups of flowers and birds. Hooray. I am still very inept using it and I hope to take a free course being offered at the centre.
The birds I think are Greater Yellowlegs. (Tell me if you think otherwise - I am not good on shorebirds). Migration has begun.
