Since retirement in July 2015, I have taken up photography as a hobby. I take my camera with me most times I am out walking or travelling. I love capturing the moment. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. To view best quality, click on each picture.

Very similar day to yesterday, started off walking my usual path along the Bow by McKenzie Meadows Golf Course, then drove to Carburn Park. The diversity of birds there is unreal.

Not my favorite bird, but this Rock Pigeon was all puffed up and showing off his colors
