Happy clouds

How I would love to have been out at Bow Valley Provincial Park yesterday, as well as on 28 June 2013, seeing all the water nearby. We got up to 33C (91F) or 35C (95C) yesterday, depending on which part of the city. The weather forecast said that it would feel like 38" (100F) when the temperature said 33C, and it sure was a HOT one! Most people here don't have air-conditioning, which is why I just had to spend a few hours driving around in a nice cool car. I don't know how all the people clearing flood debris coped with such high temperatures! This is a view looking over Middle Lake towards Mt. Yamnuska at the far right. This beautiful park lies at the very eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, maybe 45 minutes' drive west of Calgary. When we were there on 28 June, we walked along the Flowing Waters trail (wet in some places) and around Middle Lake. Many Springs trail is mostly flooded, so we couldn't do that one. The hamlet of Exshaw, just a few minutes away, was closed off due to flood damage.
