A few shots of our local gophers, which some consider a nuisance but others like me just think they are cute! </div>

Venturing out of his hole, he can see us but keeps close to his home for an easy escape. Just in case i decide to come to close, he has an escape. </div>

Farmers think these are a nuisance and a pest and actively wage war on them in the spring/summer months because of their homes and the holes they create in the fields. Cows and horses can trip into one of their holes and break a bone. </div>

They hunt them regularly and with a passion. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We have had unseasonably nice weather this past winter, and today, the start of Daylight Savings has been an amazing day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My sister and I went to Strathcona Park, which is one of my favorite parks in the city. There are walking trails all along the Saskatchewan River to follow as well as inner playgrounds and picnic areas to enjoy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The temperatures have been very warm lately. Today was 11 degrees celcius. They say it will be 16 degrees tomorrow, which for winter on the prairies is pretty warm. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most of the snow has melted, just the odd patch of ice here and there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is another photo from a series I have posted for the past few weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though its pretty, I'm ready for some Spring!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What about a blue High Heeled shoe slide! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The parks are a quiet and alone place to wander through in the winter, it will be good to hear the sound of children's voices enjoying the playgrounds when Spring decides to return! </div>

Seriously, it has been so long since I last posted anything on my blog, I was not even sure if I remembered how to go about it. How sad is that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a spot I loved to share my photos on, and loved taking my camera out to find those photos that spoke to me and that I knew I'd bring here to share. Its been so long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Somewhere along the way I lost that mojo, no matter that along the way things happened to give me a push to pick up my camera and get out there. I've even shown some of my photos in a recent gallery show and sold one of them there. I also just recently sold another photo that will be used as the front cover of a book. Shouldn't that tell me something? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hubby and I joined the local photography club here with the hope of meeting some like minded folks to share photography with. We've been to meetings, learned some things, met some nice people and gone on a field trip which I really enjoyed. Still didn't find the passion though I left in B.C. when we moved from there to here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least by being here, I am trying to find some of it. Really want it back. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was taken at one of our local parks after a night of Fog, which caused all the trees to be covered with a thick coating of Hoar Frost. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The frost lasted for a few days and each day was a bright and sunny day which just made the frost sparkle like a million diamonds. The pictures I took can't even do it justice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll see if I can keep it up here! </div>

<a href="http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/">Macro Monday 2</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This tiny little Quail puffed out her feathers so she looked a lot bigger and wider than she actually was so that she could completely cover all the eggs she was sitting on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was so tiny that when she did get up and take a break we were so surprised that she was sitting on 7eggs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean, they took up more space than she did! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.ca/">Today's Flowers</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been three months since my last blog entry and honestly, I didn't realize that much time had passed. I have been having such a hard time with my photo mojo, so to speak. I feel like this flower, fallen, gathering dust in a strange way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hubby and I recently found and joined our town's Photography club. We went to our first meeting and are going this coming week to one of their photo outings. I am so hoping it re-ignites my fire for photography. I really miss it and have almost felt like I am mourning its loss. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not making any promises, just going to try again and hope to find my love and passion for this craft!</div>

These photos come from one of our local parks, called Strathcona Park. It is located along the Saskatchewan River and has beautiful walking trails that follow along the river. It is only about 5 kilometers from our house too, what could be better than that! </div>

An old abandoned church off the road leading to Etzicom in Alberta. It looks like patches of water around the church, its actually frozen patches of ice, so I did not venture around to the back to take photos from behind. </div>

A bracelet on a craft table that caught my eye. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been struggling lately with my photography so its cool to see something in my travels that captivates my attention. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My hubby and I were out the other day and happened to take a wrong turn which brought us to the back of a large store. As we were passing by the back storage area I saw all these icicles attached to a shelving unit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It caught my eye and I asked my hubby to stop so I could capture a few photos. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PEx4IL9oKwc/Uowc4nFe6sI/AAAAAAAAG_U/vvdO5giUXo4/s1600/Ice+Pickles+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="432" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PEx4IL9oKwc/Uowc4nFe6sI/AAAAAAAAG_U/vvdO5giUXo4/s640/Ice+Pickles+3.jpg" width="640" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That doesn't happen often for me with my photo slump, so he was very happy to stop to let me take these few photos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He told me that he used to call icicles Ice Pickles! Hence the name of this post! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I liked the textures of the chain link, the metal shelving, the silver shelves and the sparkly ice pickles. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully when you see some icicles you will remember this post and call them Ice Pickles too! </div>

This is our favorite park to visit in Medicine Hat. To get down to it you have to go down a steep winding long hill, with a drop off if you were so inclined to slide over the side on your way down. </div>

I have been loving the colors of Autumn that are on display right now. The yellows, the oranges and especially the reds. I loved the way the light shone on the leaves. It was golden light, that hour of the evening where the magic happens. My shutter speed was high and caught the leaves so that the huge wind we were having this day was not blowing at all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kind of missed the wind though and the effect of movement and the blur that comes with that, so I put the blur back! Kind of like it! </div>

<u>Watching</u></div>

Meet Molly, my sister's Maltese dog. She is constantly watching me, I think wanting to be picked up! </div>

<u>Leafy</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We spent the day at Echodale, shuffling through the leaves that have fallen. It's one of my favorite things to do in the Fall. When we lived in BC it was very hard to do that as it rained all the time, the leaves were wet and soggy all the time. Here they are dry and crisp and so fun to shuffle through! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The problem here is the car parked in the parking area somehow made itself invisible when I took this photo. Somehow the rule of checking out the background for annoying things that ruin your otherwise perfect shot didn't happen this time! </div>

<u>A Good Day</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A great day is shuffling through crisp crunching leaves, throwing handfuls of dry leaves into the breeze and watching them fly through the air! A good day is going for a walk along paths by the lake, seeing the gorgeous yellows, oranges and reds of colour, feeling the breeze through your hair, visiting with family while walking. </div>

My brand new niece Kenedee, was born Friday evening, weighing in at 7lb 8oz and 21 inches. Kenedee already knows how to make people wait, she made us wait an extra 8 days before making her entrance. </div>

Its been an exciting week here. I finally got rid of my crutches last week, which is a huge step in recovery, pardon the pun! A few flare ups in pain but so far its all good. So nice to be free of those crutches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My brother Brian was out for a visit from his home town of Victoria. He was here for a week. We took him to the airport today for his flight home. The week's visit went by so fast, its hard to believe sometimes how fast time flies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And my brand new Niece Kenedee was born yesterday! She kept everyone waiting a week past due date and finally made her entrance yesterday evening. Hubby and I went up to the hospital today after dropping Brian off at the airport to finally meet this little one! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And almost overnight Autumn has arrived. Fall colours are everywhere. These few pictures were taken outside of the airport terminal. One thing about chain link fences that always seem to attract my eye is all the things that get caught in the links. Things that should of moved on long ago but just seems to stick around. We all have moments like that, we can't seem to let some things go. </div>

There are some moments that we should keep tucked away forever as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will keep that moment I first laid eyes on my niece Kenedee, saw that little shock of dark hair on her little head, her pink skin, the tiny folds under her neck, her little ears. Her beautiful blue eyes. I won't get that moment again, and I will treasure that little gift! </div>

I can't believe its been a month since I last posted. I am in such a slump as far as photography is concerned. Don't know where my mojo went.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't blame it on my broken leg, although that has made it hard, but not impossible to get out and about with my camera. I can't just throw the camera into the car, start it up and drive to someplace awesome and just begging to have its photo taken. </div>

I feel kind of like these turtles, hard to get from A to B, so used to staying in one or two spots, that now I can't get myself in gear. I am slow to move anywhere, just seems like such a challenge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is not to say I haven't taken any photos, I just look at them and have a hard time seeing anything good in them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think its time to get myself over it. Time to make myself start, and it should flow in time again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tired of being stuck in this rotten slump.</div>

Here are some more photos of our recent trip to Butterfly Gardens. Most of the photos I took here were from a seated position on one of the benches located around the center pool in the gardens. </div>

These butterflies had a brilliant blue colour on the top of their wings which you could not see when they were resting. Silly little things kept their wings tightly closed. I love the pattern though in the wings, it really helps to camouflage them against the foliage. Some I went right past and didn't see them until I turned around and looked again.</div>

Looks like eyes on the wings, I think! </div>

Sometimes you are lucky to find a little oasis in the middle of your town, that even if you aren't able to go to visit someplace warm and tropical, it can transport you there for a few hours that you spend there. </div>

Hubby and I went to the local Butterfly house here in town and I will be posting some of the pictures of the different butterflies, birds, and animals we saw there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was gorgeous there, tons of plants, flowers and a big pond in the middle. Mist sprinklers here and there. Bridges, and wooden paths to traverse. Benches along the way which with my injured leg were my friend!! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been so hard to even think about getting out with my camera to take pictures since breaking my leg three weeks ago. Walking with a cast and crutches has been very awkward, and carrying a full camera bag didn't thrill me a lot. Consequently, I missed my Tuesday project 52 photo, but here it is better late than never!! </div>

Hubby and I went out today, first time with my camera and went to a local park. Not much walking required, or rather navigating with crutches, we found a nice bed of flowers with a bench around it, and I got some pics. <br />

We also found a park bench by the lake and watched swimmers brave the water, seagulls fight for Pizza and dogs walking their people!! </div>

I know I am breaking a few rules of composition, but I kind of like the off kiltered way of cropping I chose for these flower shots. It fits my off kilter way of getting around right now! </div>

I am going to the Specialist on Tuesday and will have some more X-rays, close up shots of my broken bone to find out how its healing. I hope well, and that I will only have a few more weeks of inconvenience to go through. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever decided you are going to make some changes and you make a plan for those changes and start following the path to success in accomplishing those goals? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X7uRKDQ-izc/Ue8b3_lAenI/AAAAAAAAGzI/jO6UvVeZstY/s1600/DSC_0059.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X7uRKDQ-izc/Ue8b3_lAenI/AAAAAAAAGzI/jO6UvVeZstY/s640/DSC_0059.JPG" width="428" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You take each step along the path one by one and slowly but surely you are crossing each step along the way off the list and are closer and closer to accomplishing your goal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Success is just around the corner, heck you can almost see it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PIBpB5AyqSE/Ue8b6OxW-VI/AAAAAAAAGzQ/Y6uwHChA9Mg/s1600/DSC_0066.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PIBpB5AyqSE/Ue8b6OxW-VI/AAAAAAAAGzQ/Y6uwHChA9Mg/s640/DSC_0066.JPG" width="428" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then out of nowhere you are hit by an obstacle. You didn't see it coming until it was almost on you. And it steamrolls you.That obstacle steamrolled me but good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week I showed you a photo of me stuck on the couch with my injured leg. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just found out yesterday after the MRI results came in that it is fractured. Now another hospital trip later and a trip to the Specialist and I am in a traction splint cast and crutches for the next month minimum. No weight bearing. No running down nice paths such as these photos for now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No suntanning one leg, or dipping my toes in the lake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now I have my goal still in my sights, but I have to adjust the outcome I'd set to achieve it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes the best laid plans have to be laid aside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have to be ready for Plan A to lead to Plan B or even on to Plan E, F or G. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you ever been hit by your own particular brand of Steamroller???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do share!</div>
