A place of peace and beauty


I needed something peaceful and beautiful to look at this morning, and I found it in this photo taken on 7 December 2014. After looking through all the old photo albums to find some favourite photos of my oldest daughter, Fiona, for a slide show for her celebration of life service in a few days' time, I am taking a short break and posting a couple of photos on my photostream. My son has almost finished creating the slideshow and, last night, he sent me the draft of it. It's beautifully done, needless to say.
This winter scene was taken on a day trip to the mountains with friends, Cathy and Terry. We drove the area of Highway 40 that is still open (the rest of this highway is closed during the winter months) and also the Smith-Dorrien road. It was a day of mixed cloud and bright sunshine, resulting in rather spectacular light at times. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, especially the areas of Kananaskis where the snow was still clinging to the coniferous trees. As well as mountain scenery, we were also lucky enough to find two Moose to watch and photograph.
I always feel so privileged when I witness any kind of wildlife, especially so when you get the chance to watch a while and learn the behaviour of the animal or bird you are lucky enough to see. My friends were so delighted to be able to let me experience this yesterday, though I always tell them that just being in such spectacular scenery and being able to photograph the mountains is more than enough for me. This day, they did really, really well!
