Midsummer Day farmyard walk, Southern Alberta We've never walked the farm perimeter, but we walk the yard and the coulees on most visits. It had been a flawlessly summery day, this first day of summer. Now thunder rumbled to the southwest. We saw both great horned owls fly. The whitetailed fawn was nearby with its mother. A flock of blackbirds chased a large kingfisher. A storm was approaching and mosquitoes swarmed, sending us in early for gin & tonics, hoping the storm would come close enough to watch. Location: Farmyard near Lethbridge, Alberta

Wonderful photos of storm clouds and old farm machinery, and the description of the walk. Not to mention the hope to watch the storm in safety with G and T! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
