Blackfoot Teepee - Photo of the Day - June 10th, 2011
"Blackfoot Teepee"
A photo of a Blackfoot Teepee overlooking Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.
Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park (Áísínai’pi) in Alberta, Canada is a landscape sacred to the Blackfoot people. The site is 32 km (20 mi) east of the town of Milk River. An archaeological preserve within the Park protects the largest concentration of rock art on the North American plains. The artists are thought to be the Blackfoot people who settled this area for at least 3,500 years. There is speculation some of the rock art may be up to 6,000 years old.
Covering the sheer sandstone cliffs of the area along the Milk River are petroglyph carvings, paintings and pictographs which include vivid depictions of hunting and spiritual vision quests. But by far the most common are scenes of warriors and battles. Some speculate these were meant as warnings to neighbouring enemies to stay away. Guided interpretive walks and tours are available from mid-May until Labour Day. Interpretive programs are scheduled regularly.

How Rude!!! - 2011 Project 365 - Day 155 of 365
"How Rude!!!"
Day 155 of 365
After feeling a little defeated, only seeing two bears for the day and only getting one pic of the two because some guy got out of his car and scared the first one off, I looked to my left and saw this guy walking straight towards my car. I think he wanted to drive :) He actually got about 12 feet away from my car, stuck out his tongue, and proceeded to walk behind my car and back into the bush. I saw one more bear after this one making the total for the day, 4, and total so far this year is 9 bears in the wild, with a lifetime total of 15.
