Re: Curious Cattle
Monday this week was a public holiday (UK) so I went off in search of new lambs being born in the local farms. No lambs yet - but the Aberdeen Angus family were having a family day ! Had to wait for an hour before the young Angus got to his feet.

Re: Rural Scenes from Alberta
I thank Dr. Fumblefinger for this post. His pictures remind me of the splendour of the scenery of Alberta, reminding us that there is more than the world-renowned wonders of the Canadian Rockies. Back in May, I visited the excellent Bomber Museum in Nanton (see previous posts on Travelgumbo), but I took these photos on the road west from Nanton towards Highway 22.
