~ This pretty dragonfly lit on the boardwalk through a wet meadow area. There were hundreds of dragonflies flying; most had blue markings, but this one was different.
Boreal Bluet ~ This pretty little damselfly was photographed around Johnson Lake in Banff National Park. Based on markings and geography, I believe it is a Boreal Bluet.
Plains Bison Up-Close ~ An early morning visit to Elk Island, east of Edmonton, Alberta, gave wonderful views of herds of Plains Bison. This bull bison was at the side of a road, and though moving around and snorting, allowed me this up-close view.
