Through British Columbia and Alberta

[ronaldhanko]

Last summer we traveled to Edmonton to see family but made a number of stops along the way to see the native orchids that were blooming. These are some of the photos from that trip and from a day of orchid hunting in the Edmonton area.

Oh Ron I so much enjoyed your photo's at this time. I have been working at the Meat Plant for hunting season and am so tried of seeing animals dead....... so seeing those baby Mountain Sheep makes my day.

I so love to see them alive and on the hoof.

Thanks, Silken, No-Pro and Monika. I'd much rather shoot the animals with a camera than a gun, though it was my wife who shot the baby goats.
