A Barn Owl perched in the perfect position for a picture. Always a great day when you see them before it gets too dark!

I think I'm getting better at doing this 🙂 Here's my final shot from yesterday's Milky Way shoot. I drove back to Elbow Falls from Forget-Me-Not Pond for this. #ShareYourWeather #Alberta #Canada #MilkyWay #SonyPhotography

Calibrachoa (Million Bells) is still hanging in there. This garden plant is such a giver. And tough! 🍂 #plants #calibrachoa #bloomscrolling
Yellow Calibrachoa (Million Bells) are still blooming. It's getting towards the end of October in Calgary. Very nice! - a very tough and generously blooming plant.

No official snow at the Edmonton airport yesterday, but Calgary did record 1cm. #yeg #yegwx #yyc #yycweather
This is Calgary's earliest snow since 2021.
The last time that they got a really early September snow was 2019, and 2018 for us.

A bittersweet day...I finally had to rehome my big Monstera. I'm guessing the new owners were hoping I was exaggerating about the dimensions.

I wasn't.

Here it is after I delivered it to its new home and was saying goodbye. They thought they could pick it up in a Ford Escape. Bahaha

Silver birches catch the low autumn sun on a steep hilside in the foreground. Across the valley a tumbling beck falles beside a plantation of larches.

This one particular dahlia has drawn endless amounts of pollinators into my garden for months and is still going strong. 🌱🐝📷

New to me: Salpiglossis. Sort of like petunias, but not. (This one is Royale Chocolate.) I cut it back after it bloomed a month ago. It's doing it again. Late summer magic. ✨🌱 #plants #FlowersOnFriday #Bloomscrolling #FlowerPower

Begonias. 🪴 I finally found a dragon wing this year, which I wanted for the cool leaf (had some like 10 yrs ago). Its flowers are pretty nice, too. #begonias #plantsky

A first for me in Lethbridge: a northern leopard frog. It's a common species elsewhere in North America, but the first one I have spotted in Lethbridge in 17 years.

Visitors to the lantana... I believe this butterfly is a Boloria dia. #Bloomscrolling #Butterfly #Lantana #BoloriaDia #Insect #Locals #Hrvatska #Croatia #Pollinator #NativeButterflies #Nature #Wings #FloatLikeAButterfly #CloseUpBeauty #Macro
A Boloria dia butterfly sits on the flowers of a lantana plant, sipping nectar and fluttering it's wings. The butterfly has wings that look like the frames of a stained glass window, where the glass areas are opaque and filled with whites, tans, and browns. There is a row of false eyes on the edge of the wings and a splash of orange. The lantana has alternating pink and yellow flowers.
