Holy Downpour Batman! We were just wondering whether we'd get #RockyMountainHouse weather (20 miles west)- definite showers today/tonight or #RedDeer (40miles east) 30-60% chance.. tapering off already, but a lot of water came down in a few minutes..

My immediate area is Mixed Wood Boreal Forest, transitioning to Aspen Parkland to the east +Foothills biome to the west. We have mainly Aspen + Balsam Poplar, White + Black Spruce, Tamarack Birch + Willow with very scattered Pine. I start to see Pine on the drive west to work in #RockyMountainHouse,
Most of them are in spots that for some reason I struggle to get decent photos of..lol Here some are highlighted in the centre of the photo

pt 1 Last week the car had to go in for urgently needed new tires (2/4, have to get 2 more when money permits; I had to miss work until it could be done). While my friend was at the shop with the car, I walked to a couple of stores to get shopping done in advance- and caught the #sunrise

Saturday: thunder + rain at home, rain and a little hail (no thunder loud enough to hear from noisy inside, at work in #RockyMountainHouse). Impressive clouds for the #commute home in the evening. Then we had a snowfall warning for Sunday night through Monday- now Monday only modest rain earlier, just turned to snow 3pm #weather #ABStorm #sunset #landscape #Photography

In recent years I haven't gone to town often except on workdays- doing essential shopping before/after work to cut driving. Once in a while though, something comes up between work days + some things not open before/after work. A brief jaunt to #RockyMountainHouse this week, late afternoon

#FotoMontag Some views from the commute.. From #RockyMountainHouse to Condor-ish including a couple of my favourite cattle breeds, and one of my favourite hills for views, just up the road.

For anyone in the #RockyMountainHouse area- the parking lot view is at No Frills Rocky Mountain House. the other two are heading east from town on the 'back' highway, and just up the road from home, southwest of Condor.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day10 #WinterLight a mostly sunny morning #commute East of #RockyMountainHouse #Alberta a chilly morning, low -15C (not cold for this time of year, about average, we've been mostly above) would have been a few degrees higher at least on the way to work, hit a high just above freezing. #WinterPictures #December #CountryLiving #horses #Frostodon

2 views leaving town after #work on #Sunday This #thunderstorm had passed by- some noise but not much else. On the highway we passed through some wet spots, but I'm sure someone got more excitement from that one! #StormWatchers #ShareYourWeather #commute #RockyMountainHouse #Alberta #Canada #August

Pretty average forecast for this time of year- last week we had warmer (28C ish) and colder (13C daytime) average as of today is 22/8. We've had a good amount of rain right here on the acreage, did not get the big #thunderstorms that were in the town where I work #RockyMountainHouse and eastwards yesterday- serious thunder, some hail (interesting dealing with drive-thru window in hail 😆 ) and downpours. ##ShareYourWeather #Alberta #Canada #July #commute #dusk #evening #landscapephotography

#SevenOnSunday only 1 day late ;) Since Friday to Sunday are my work days, I chose some views from the #commute from Condor #Alberta to #RockyMountainHouse We have #haze #smoke #thunderstorms (seen but not felt) and an #agricultural crop of dubious nutrition but great #colour!
Top: Canola crops reaching peak flowering, seen from #DavidThompsonHighway + centre- mixed with sow thistle etc -failed crop or leftovers?( maybe too wet after sowing?)

prices would be moderate, since these are not groomed nursery show plants. Seeds could be shipped (ask for things I show you might be interested in, and I can /try to collect seed) plants would need to be picked up, which is the tricky part since I live in the country (Condor, AB)-- arrangements could be made #RockyMountainHouse #Eckville #SylvanLake etc

Weird secondary/tertiary(?) effects of #wildfire: a fire some distance away to the west/north has caused some #evacuations and over the weekend (not sure of updates) the closure of a road that goes from the mountains to provincial capital- causing many people to #detour a couple hundred km through the town where I work. Many stopped for coffee/food making my job even more ridiculously hectic on the weekend than average summer weekends...

3/3 I don't want another animal to become settled here and need to be re-homed later- not always easy for cats that people allow to breed far too freely! Plus outdoors over winter is not great here- cats are better with a barn or house.
So here's the cutie (pics in main post in this thread), hoping maybe someone nearby is looking for a cute, friendly young cat!

1/3 Recent visitor to the acreage: I thought it was one of the endless parade of neighbour cats that wander over here- some from our nearest neighbours or farther (they often don't last long here outdoors, so cast is everchanging) But-it's been hanging around for a few days, and unlike usual visitors, meowing for attention + coming up to the house, trying to approach while I'm outside etc.

Still on late #February for #SixOnSaturday this was one very cold morning when we had to get up early to take the car in to #RockyMountainHouse for service (which was botched, causing more trouble! I hate cars..) #Frosty car #windows (should have thrown in a couple for #FensterFreitag !) #sunrise reflected in the western sky, lingering cold mist returning home later. #Alberta #landscape #commute #winter #Frostodon
