I had the wonderful chance to return to the mountains again today, with friend Sandy, to see what we could find that was new that could be added to various lists, including Alberta-wide records. A tremendously time-consuming thing, but we are also able to enjoy the spectacular scenery and all species of flora and fauna at the same time : ) We set off early this morning and drove westwards, out past Banff, Lake Louise, Bow Lake and Peyto Lake and a little further. It was great to call in at Bow Lake again and, of course, the lighting was completely different. Really, no reflections in the lakes, though I did seize the opportunity to position myself in a good place (by a big puddle, ha!) to photograph this young couple visiting from Austria. They had asked if one of us would take a photo of them together, and I left this to Sandy, as I can't use a camera without a viewfinder : ) I asked them if I could take a shot with my own camera - if anyone on ipernity or Flickr happens to recognize them, please feel free to pass on this photo to them. Normally, I never post photos of people (or take them) and I wasn't sure whether to post this shot or a similar one without the couple. Any opinions?? Must admit I kind of love their reflections. Got home around 10:00 p.m., tired out, but so "renewed" and happy! We even saw two rare fungi - I had seen both before, but what a treat! It was strange to notice small, broken branches when I was driving along my street, and I could see that there must have been some strong winds blowing in the city, at least in my area. When I turned on my computer, I found two photos on Flickr from a friend, showing that an enormous tree had fallen and crashed right down on top of his truck! Such a great shame - and he and his wife were all packed up ready to go camping for this long weekend : (
