Thank you to everyone who views, faves or comments on my photos, it is always appreciated.
One of my favourite trees is this gnarly old tree, which has survived countless freeze-thaw cycles when it is flooded each spring as the ice melts (hopefully very soon).
It provides protection from the currents of the raceway to ducks and geese, nesting opportunities for passerines, stake-out spots for the local hawks and falcons, and more.

In Arctic regions flora come to life during the short summer season. Newcomers tend to be surprised by the vibrancy and range of colors to be observed.
Calgary, a cosmopolitan Alberta city with numerous skyscrapers, owes its rapid growth to its status as the centre of Canada’s oil industry. However, it’s still steeped in the western culture that earned it the nickname “Cowtown,” evident in the Calgary Stampede, its massive July rodeo and festival that grew out of the farming exhibitions once presented here. ― Google

July 1, 2023 is Canada's 156th birthday!
Canada Day celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of the British North America Act, 1867, when the three separate colonies of the United Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united into a single dominion within the British Empire called Canada.
Originally called Dominion Day, the holiday was renamed in 1982, the same year that the Canadian constitution was patriated by the Canada Act, 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Cheers!

Le 1er juillet 2023 est le 156e anniversaire du Canada!
La fête du Canada célèbre l'anniversaire de la Confédération canadienne qui a eu lieu le 1er juillet 1867, avec l'adoption de l'Acte de l'Amérique du Nord britannique, 1867, lorsque les trois colonies distinctes du Canada-Uni, de la Nouvelle-Écosse et du Nouveau-Brunswick ont été unies en un seul dominion au sein de l'Empire britannique appelé Canada.
Appelée à l'origine Fête du Dominion, la fête a été renommée en 1982, la même année que la constitution canadienne a été rapatriée par la Loi sur le Canada de 1982, qui a rompu les vestiges de la dépendance juridique du Parlement du Royaume-Uni.
Acclamations!
Had an awesome time with two beautiful Canadian tiger swallowtail's today. One followed me for 4 hours around the lake and then finally let me photograph him/her at the end before we said our goodbyes.

With fog lifting on the cool summer morning in Lubec, Maine it made for some interesting tones and light as the sun shined down on the harbor ... and on Canada there across the waterway.
Wikipedia: The Canada warbler (Cardellina canadensis) is a small boreal songbird of the New World warbler family (Parulidae). It summers in Canada and northeastern United States and winters in northern South America.
During the breeding season 82% of the population can be found in Canada and 18% in the United States. In Canada, the summer range extends from southeastern Yukon to Nova Scotia. In the United States, the range extends from northern Minnesota to northern Pennsylvania, east to Long Island, New York. It also nests in the high Appalachians as far south as Georgia. In winter, the Canada warbler's range extends from Guyana to northwestern Bolivia around the northern and western side of the Andean crest.
Conservation status: Least Concern

Every Labour Day weekend a group of us explore one of Canada's treasures: Algonquin Park just north of Toronto, Ontario. It is a time of canoeing, portaging and camping with a group of great friends in this wilderness jewel.
What a sight, a Canada Creche of 8 adults and 26 young goslings of varying ages. A lunchtime photographing these scenes meant being late back for work but well worth it!!!!!!
Canada’s official bird is the Gray Jay. I wondered what made this bird so unique for this honourable title. Then I read that this bird’s habitat is mainly in Canada and no other country except for a few small pockets in the US. It is also found in every province and territory in Canada but has never been named a Provincial Bird. It is also a very hardy bird we see all year including winter. It has even been found to nest in February and hatch young ones during a blizzard. Now that sounds like a real Canadian. This friendly guy we saw on our drive home through Algonquin Park. He had just been preening himself in the warm sun so he was fluffed up for the portrait shot. Happy Wing Wednesday!
On this rainy morning I saw the beaver. He circled and swam back to me twice and slapped his tail loudly to scare me off,but I didn't move.I just watched him for about 20 minutes.Then he got bold and crossed the road by foot to go into the canal on the other side and swam his way to a more distant dam.

Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !
Taken on a 28 hour fly in visit to Montreal. Found this in the city center whilst finishing lunch - short break. icy cold, my hands were stiff numb. The dampness in the air made it more difficult. Well got a shot or two .
This is DRI. Used two sets of exposures . 2 composites generated from 5 exposures each. Auto blending modes for each composite. Layered back (blending mode) a darker expsoure for the contrast . layer masked the 2 composites ;-)
he Canadian Rockies are the easternmost part of the Canadian Cordillera, the collective name for the mountains of Western Canada. They form part of the American Cordillera, an essentially continuous sequence of mountain ranges that runs all the way from Alaska to the very tip of South America. The Cordillera, in turn, is the eastern part of the Pacific Ring of Fire that runs all the way around the Pacific Ocean.

The Canadian Rockies are bounded on the east by the Canadian Prairies, on the west by the Rocky Mountain Trench, and on the north by the Liard River. Contrary to popular misconception, the Rockies do not extend north into Yukon or Alaska, or west into central British Columbia. North of the Liard River, the Mackenzie Mountains, which are a distinct mountain range, form a portion of the border between the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. The mountain ranges to the west of the Rocky Mountain Trench in southern British Columbia are called the Columbia Mountains, and are not considered to be part of the Rockies by Canadian geologists.

The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is a large, widespread wild goose species native to North America, easily recognizable by its black head and neck with a distinctive white chinstrap. It is found near freshwater areas like ponds, lakes, and marshes, and is well adapted to urban environments.
Key Characteristics
Appearance:
They have a brown body, a black head and neck, white cheek patches, and a black beak and legs. Males and females have similar plumage, though males are slightly larger.
Size:
They typically range from 75 to 110 cm in length, with a wingspan of 1.5 to 1.8 meters.
Diet:
Canada geese are primarily herbivores, or plant-eaters, using their serrated bills to graze on grasses, leaves, roots, seeds, and grains. They will also feed on aquatic vegetation and occasionally small insects or fish.
Behavior:
They are social birds that form large, noisy flocks. They are known for being very territorial and can become aggressive if they feel their nests or young are threatened, hissing and charging at perceived dangers.
Habitat and Distribution:
While native to North America, the Canada goose was introduced to Europe (including the UK) in the 17th century as an ornamental bird and has since established widespread populations there. They prefer open, grassy areas near water, which provides a safe escape route from predators.
Migration:
Canada geese are well-known for their seasonal migrations, often flying in a distinctive V-shaped formation that helps conserve energy by reducing wind resistance. The front position is rotated among the flock members as the lead bird tires.
However, not all populations are migratory. In areas with mild climates and consistent food sources (such as urban parks and agricultural fields in the US and UK), many populations have become non-migratory or sedentary year-round residents.
Reproduction:
Canada geese typically form monogamous pair bonds, often mating for life. The female incubates a clutch of around five eggs in a nest built near water, while the male stands guard. Goslings (baby geese) hatch with their eyes open and are able to walk and swim within 24 hours. Both parents lead and protect the goslings, which may form "gang broods" with other families.

Happy Canada Day!
to my friends to the north and for all those who love Canada (and who doesn't?!).
So glad I'm only a couple hours away from the border with British Columbia. And ~7 hours from beloved iconic Moraine Lake.
A few more shots of this special place in comments.
Thanks for taking a look!
Happy Friday as well!
