Two seasons, one day apart
April 17th was a warm day, even when I went out in the morning. I photographed this Great gray owl perched over a field in the early golden light and it felt like summer was just around the corner. Shortly before finding the owl, I spent a few minutes watching the moose below as it grazed on these brambles. With lots of sunshine all day long, the temperature rose up to 20°C by the afternoon – which is lovely for this time of the year.
The next day, was a very different story as snow fell overnight and changed the land completely. I happened to find another owl and another moose while I was out in the white winterland. I am used to our wild weather swings but I still found the difference striking.

I really like the owl in the snow.

Great juxtaposition…really shows the unpredictable nature of the season.

Thanks AH – our weather in southern Alberta can certainly be unpredictable – you’re right that spring often amps that up another level!
