Friends organized a wonderful day out for eight of us yesterday, walking the Sarrail Falls Trail along the edge of Upper Kananaskis Lake, in the Rocky Mountains. Our aim was to find anything that grew, flew or crawled - anything beautiful : ) My favourite kind of day! I just managed to catch this shot throuh the trees along the edge of the lake and liked the water patterns created by this couple in a boat (have blurred out the man's face). As you can see from my photo, the weather was absolutely perfect, though it did get rather too hot later on in the day. It was supposed to get up to 30C, but I don't know what the temperature ended up being. Thanks so much, Dorothy and Stephen, for another wonderful day and thanks so much for doing the driving! (Oops, almost forgot to mention the second stop, at Elpoca - just a short walk, or should I say climb, up a scree slope (loose, very sharp pieces of rock) overlooking a beautiful stream with small waterfalls. However, I got just a short distance and then was unable to get around a bend where footing was maybe 4" wide and too high for me to get down to the ground below. Nothing to hold on to, but moss, ha. Then came the problem of how to turn around on that narow edge so that I could go back to where I started, to join a couple of others who knew it was not a climb they wanted to try. Thanks, David, for trying your best to help!
