Calgary Sports Council- Mayor’s Breakfast
It was an honour to be awarded by the Calgary Sports Council, and congratulated by Mayor Bronconnier. Bobsleigh Driver Adam A. and I met very briefly last January after I captured this photograph but then not again until today. Adam and Teammate Bobby attended today’s event, and took this photograph of our Mayor and I.

Little Girl – Big Horse
I was not sure who was more hesitant.. the little girl or the large draft horse. He stared at her for a few moments then took the grass out of her hand.

Snowshoe Hare-Bunny
This little guy decided he would do a Lindt chocolate bunny pose for me. Unlike rabbits, hares are born with fur and eyes open so they are developed early-on for survival in the wild. Comments welcome.

Saddle Bronc
“Showboy” was aptly named and is an excellent Saddle Bronc. Frank C. showed his true grit as a cowboy on this ride. His calm/cool words to me were, ”I heard it (collarbone) snap”. He will be back on the rodeo circuit next year! Comments welcome.

Hoary Marmot
This Hoary Marmot decided to hang out on his burrow for us. Some people call them Whistle Pigs as their call is ear deafening up close. Biggest north American Ground Squirrel and they grow up to 10kg. These guys were skittish, as there are Grizzlies around. Comments welcome.

Layers
It was a bit of a surreal feel looking across depth of field of this scene. During certain times of the year I do a fair amount of flying, but I find that there are considerably more landscape photo opportunities from the ground. Comments welcome.

Freedom
Today is July 1st and Canada Day! In 1867 Canada became an independant Nation with continuous close ties to the Commonwealth. I thought a good word to sum up Canada Day is “Freedom”, and I think Chad R. on his Harley expresses that. Comments Welcome.

Great Blue Heron
I grew-up in a north-central town in Alberta, Canada. The Great Blue Heron was and remains the town motto. Fantastic bird, and their annual migration ranges from northern parts of Canada to Mexico and the Caribbean. Comments Welcome.
