Margarit and the others got home from Austria on Saturday May 23rd. I was getting really tired of being in the city so on Monday I decided to head out for a drive in the country. I had no particular destination in mind and basically just went out sightseeing. Of course my view camera came along...
I ended up northeast of the city. I saw several flocks of White Faced Ibis'. At one time, a couple of decades back, these birds were only known at one or two locations in the deep south of the province. Now they have expanded their range up into central Alberta, and perhaps beyond. I also saw numerous other shorebirds and waterfowl including ducks, geese, coots, and several American Avocets.
Late in the afternoon I ended up over in Andrew. I did a shot of the exterior of the Andrew Hotel. When we visited there last summer for the Beer Parlour Project and outing number BP34.0, I never got an exterior shot. It was raining much of the day, and on top of that we were really busy as the news reporter from CTV Edmonton, Connor Hogg, was out doing a feature on our project.
After the stop in Andrew I slowly made my way back home and scouted around a little, taking the long scenic route back to the city. I didn't find anything spectacular, but it was really nice to get out of the city for a while, and do some shooting with my camera.
