Traveling Back in TIme

Fort Calgary, established in 1875 as Fort Brisebois by the North-West Mounted Police is located where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet in what is now Calgary, Alberta. The construction of the fort was initiated on April 10, 1875 by a federal order to force out whiskey traders from the area.

My Garden Flowers

It has been a while since I have posted anything to my blog. I have a huge backlog of photographs that I am dying to share. These photographs are recent images of flowers I have growing in my garden.

Butterfly Beauties

These butterflies were photographed in the past week at the Calgary Zoo. The zoo has an amazing area to view and enjoy free flying butterflies. It is definitely one of my favorite places to spend time at.

Birding in Calgary

I managed to shoot a few photographs of birds in our city parks this spring.

Canadian Prairies Meets Rocky Mountains

On a recent trip to Claresholm, Alberta I could not help but stop to photograph the distant Rocky Mountain range.

Trail Views at Fishcreek

Fishcreek park is one of the largest urban parks in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (nearly 19 km long). These photographs were taken while I was hiking the trail near the Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant. 

The Not-So-Shy Chickadee

These birds, found in North America, are referred to as chickadees. Since they have quick movements and are notably shy, it is amazing that such photographs are possible. I photographed these in Edworthy Park, Calgary, Alberta.
