under an Alberta sky June 5, 2026

This morning I spent a tad over three hours covering a bit short of fifteen kilometres hiking under a most gorgeous Alberta sky.  I started hiking at 5:44am from the parking lot at Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park which was a thirty minute drive from home.  It was the sky that captured my attention and held it for the entire hike. I am sharing various views witnessed while I wandered.

I ended up along the trail by the Bow River, the river was running high and fast. 

When I managed to veer my eyes away from the sky, many sights were to be seen.  A section of the park was closed due to calving season.  The trail followed along side a fence.  The Cows and their Calves were on the other side.  Here is a Mom and her big baby checking me out.  

Most calves were still asleep, anywhere and everywhere!

This coyote quickly dashed off into the dense bush a split second after I snapped this shot.

The Mother Ground Squirrel is in amongst her babies there somewhere!

Approximately two dozen deer were roaming about here and there under the gorgeous Alberta sky. Lots of birds decorated the sky, the trees and bushes. Many I heard but could not spot.  Lots took off as I focused in.  I had success with capturing photos of many Sparrows of various species. This Brewer's Blackbird stayed still long enough, as did.....

.....this Goldfinch.

The Sparrows I spotted!

Of course, I would not have these sweet sights to share 

if I had not wandered under this wonderful Alberta sky!
