An interesting ice formation is random number photo 620. I loved the colour that the setting sun added to this scene. And yes, I’m spelling colour the Canadian way even though the spell checker underlines it in red in the editor.

Random number photo 1813 is this photo of a red-wing blackbird that I doctored up a little, removing all of the color except for the bird’s shoulders.

Great Blue Heron in Flight

Random Number Photo 3567 is a great blue heron in flight. Probably one of the easier birds to photograph in the air because they are pretty large and don’t fly particularly fast.

My Random Number Photos will henceforth be known as RNP’s, for the sake of keeping the post titles to a reasonable length. Today’s number was 1904, but I am actually using photo 1908. This is a Mexican Bluewing butterfly seen at the nearby Devonian Botanical Gardens.

Platinum Blonde is Back!

Who knew they actually had new music? We didn’t, but we wanted to see them anyway, when we found out they were performing a concert in Whitecourt, AB to which attendance was free. Thank you, town of Whitecourt! It was actually a pretty good concert considering the audience didn’t have to pay to be there. In a town of around 10,000 people with an audience of probably less than 1000 you might expect a band to phone it in. However, I thought they were pretty good and was impressed at how much Mark Holmes could still hit the notes he hit 30 years ago. Their new songs weren’t really groundbreaking, but had the same Platinum Blonde feel you might expect and were not bad. So, if you enjoyed Platinum Blonde back in the 80’s then check them out at a casino near you! 😉
