When Jimmy Simpson camped at Bow Lake in 1898, he vowed that one day he would "build a shack here". Twenty-five years later he began building the first log cabin on the site and had a permanent base for his outfitting tours. He called his operation Num-Ti-Jah, a Stoney Plain word for pine marten, a small animal similar to a sable.
In 1937, the Banff-Jasper highway was completed as far as Bow Lake. Jimmy, his wife Billie and their children Margaret, Mary and Jimmy jr. began expanding on the original dream of a "shack". With the earnings from Margaret and Mary's professional ice-skating tours, the building of Num-Ti-Jah Lodge began. In 1940, the Lodge had six guest rooms. By 1950, a beautiful log and stone hotel with 16 rooms stood on the shores of Bow Lake.

A CP Rail SD40-2F, aka a "Red Barn", leads a unit grain train west through Hector, British Columbia. CPR 9010 would be retired and sold to the Central Maine & Quebec Railway.
9010 would return to CP Rail when the railroad repurchased the lines spun off to the CM&Q. It was sent to Progress Rail for an overhaul, and received fresh CP paint. It splits its time between company service MoW trains, and filling in where needed for local freights and transfer jobs.
A hearty thank you to Colin Smith for his help regarding 9010's return to CP Rail.
May 20, 2020, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.
Canada warblers were numerous in the park today but i was always a few minutes late. Finally caught up with one in the afternoon and it was worth the wait.
Cardellina canadensis
Canada Warblers fly more than 3,000 miles from their wintering grounds in South America to their breeding grounds in the United States and Canada.

Have a good day!
This introduced species is now widespread across England and Wales, but has a somewhat patchy distribution in Scotland and is localised in Ireland.
Native to North America, the Canada Goose was first introduced to Britain in the 17th century. UK numbers have more than doubled since 1984, the result of predator-free nesting sites, good feeding opportunities and low hunting pressure.
While North American populations are highly migratory, those here are largely sedentary. However, many individuals make a significant moult migration to favoured sites, such as the Beauly Firth, where they complete their annual moult.

Shortly after Canadian Pacific acquired the Delaware & Hudson, trains 557 and 558 between Buffalo and a new intermodal facility in Philadelphia were instituted. Here the power for Train 557 is putting together its train along Columbus Avenue in Philadelphia.

Macro Mondays: Sticker
One of a set of Canada stickers I have, which also includes several maple leaves, a Mountie's hat, and -- of course! -- a moose. I wanted to show the little adhesive square on the back, so I dug out one of my miniature mirrors. The mirror is less than 2" in diameter; frame is about 2.75" across.
Se solo fossi capace di descrivere la magia di quell'autunno in Canada quando tutti gli aceri si vestono a festa dei loro colori più belli prima del lungo e freddo inverno. Potrei farlo con una foto ma non sarebbe sufficiente a spiegare quanto questo grande Paese sia legato a questi meravigliosi alberi ne quanto lo sia rimasto io
❤ CANADA
muchas gracias J.

If only I were able to describe the magic of that autumn in Canada when all the maples dress up for their most beautiful colors before the long and cold winter. I could do it with a photo but it would not be enough to explain how this great country is tied to these wonderful trees as I have remained
❤ CANADA
muchas gracias J.
Funny that they didn't make the date a holiday so a lot of people worked during the day's festivities then made Monday the holiday.
Preparing for their fall migration, these magnificent birds are always fun to photograph.
Thanks for viewing, faves and comments are always appreciated !
Let this picture from last spring serve as a warning. Before you know it, it will be spring again. There will be more Canada geese!

On the 158th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation, a quintessentially Canadian scene unfolds at Glenogle, British Columbia, as a trio of EMD SD40-2s cautiously guide a welded rail train along the banks of the Kicking Horse River. Hemmed in by slide fences, steep canyon walls, and the river’s surging rapids, this rugged and remote stretch of track remains every bit as awe-inspiring, and seemingly impassable, as it was over 140 years ago.
It was through this very corridor, carved at tremendous cost and effort by the builders of the Canadian Pacific Railway, that the vision of a united Canada was forged into reality. Driving steel through the heart of the Rockies, the CPR’s completion fulfilled a pivotal promise: to connect British Columbia to the rest of the young Dominion and secure its place in Confederation.
On a day set aside to celebrate Canada and what it means to be Canadian, we must also reflect on the immense sacrifices made by those who came before us. We may not be a perfect country, but we are undoubtedly fortunate to live in one of the greatest (and most beautiful!) nations in the world.
Wishing all my fellow Canucks a very Happy Canada Day!
One more in a series of Canada Jay shots.
To me they look more petite than the other Jays. They have the same wing span as Blue Jays, Steller's Jays, and Scrub Jays, but if they were the size of a Sparrow or a Chickadee, they would look the part.
A strange visitor to our garden, Albert our resident Swan, is very territorial and chased this goose up and down the canal until he found refuge in our garden.
The Canada goose, sometimes called Canadian goose, is a large wild goose with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. It is native to the arctic and temperate regions of North America, and it is occasionally found during migration across the Atlantic in northern Europe. Wikipedia
