A Black-necked Stilt wades through the shallow waters of Frank Lake Conservation Area in southern Alberta on July 19, 2025. I love the way it moves. Each step placed with care, pausing for just a moment before continuing. As we head into the weekend, may we all take it slow and steady, one thoughtful step at a time.

As I stepped outside yesterday, the front garden was buzzing—literally!

Not sure what flipped the switch, but something had the bees in overdrive. Maybe the Globe thistle hit that perfect stage they love.

Or perhaps it was the heavy humidity in the air. Whatever it was, it made for some wild bee hairdos—frizzy, fluffy, and full of pollen.

I’ll be honest—I prefer the look of the thistle before it turns into a bee magnet. But the bees and wasps clearly disagree. To them, this is an all-you-can-eat buffet.

From first light to sunset, it’s like watching a mini airport in action—arrivals and departures nonstop. Nature's version of rush hour!

With barely a whisper, the Black-crowned Night Heron prepares for takeoff...

Captured at Frank Lake in the stillness of an overcast southern Alberta morning, this elusive beauty rises from the shelter of the reeds. The soft, diffused light erased the harsh shadows—leaving only the quiet drama of wings unfolding and the promise of flight. July 26, 2025

Ruddy Duck, you’re clear for takeoff on Pond 2!
Let’s try not to make such a splash this time, okay?

Captured during a peaceful evening shoot on June 15, 2025, at the Coaldale Birds of Prey ponds. Nothing like golden light and feathered flyers to end the day!

Discover More Than Just the Bridge – A Stunning Father's Day Gift

The Lethbridge river bottom is famous for the iconic High Level Bridge — featured in everything from CP/KC advertising to major productions like The Last of Us. It's a symbol deeply tied to the identity of Lethbridge.

But the river valley offers so much more.

Whoop-Up Drive connects the east and west sides of the city, winding through the river valley and offering spectacular views—especially in the fall. This photograph captures a breathtaking moment looking south from the High Level Bridge: the Oldman River flowing beneath Whoop-Up Drive, flanked by vibrant autumn colors.

A perfect gift for Father’s Day — timeless, local, and rich with natural beauty.

I was not expecting a rainbow when I walked outside the house. Didn't even seem to be raining that much. Southern Alberta, May 29, 2025
