Beautiful

This months background wallpaper image is a pair of Baby Gophers playing together in a grassy field outside of Calgary on a beautiful spring day. Baby gophers don't look all that different from the adults (especially in pictures) but they really are much smaller. In fact they are less than half the size of a full-grown animal, and they are very cute! Although everyone calls these cute little critters gophers, they are officially known as Richardson’s Ground Squirrels. They are often confused with Prairie Dogs, but that is a completely different species (much more rare, and not found in the Calgary area). No matter what they are called they are very fun to watch and extremely photogenic. I really look forward to spring every year and I always take some time out to play with the gophers. Hopefully the rain will stop soon and we'll all have a chance to get outside to enjoy it!

This months background wallpaper image is a close-up of the flower from an Easter Lily that I bought for my wife. She's had a crazy few days of work and I thought she needed something to cheer her up! It just so happens that I love Lilies too and I love to photograph them. I set this one up in the backyard and got down nice and low so that I would have nothing behind it other than the beautiful blue sky. The weather over the Easter long weekend was fantastic and I managed to get out to enjoy quite a bit of it. I hope you will enjoy this image as much as I liked creating it!
