Late autumn photo of Elbow Lake in Kananaskis Alberta with a few tell tale signs winter is setting in.
As I am stuck at home not able to take photos for a few weeks (recovering from tennis elbow surgery) I am finally able to catch up on some old photos.
This one was taken exactly this time last year on a lake NW of Calgary, Canada.
One interesting fact I found on these birds is The Red-necked grebe consumes many of its own feathers. The stomach of this bird retains two balls or masses of feathers, however, the reason for this is unknown. Some believe that these feathers protect the lower digestive tract from hard, indigestible materials like bones, and these feathers are also fed to the young ones.
-Podiceps grisegena
Always a wonderful attraction to visit but the falls are not as large as they were several years ago before the adverse weather conditions and landslides.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS, AWARDS AND FOR ANY INVITES.
Spinning the burning steel wool is a night photography "rite of passage" I was instructing a couple of novice photographers on the fine points of spinning one of them was on assignment for her photography course.

I was quite taken by the shape of this trunk as it snaked its way past the conifers. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire

I just waited for someone to sit. This shelf serves as a seat for many a happy shopper. Just need to wait and see. Taken 3 yrs ago, so as I and my good lady are of a certain age we are on lock down for 3 months, So its looking through photos of times gone by. Stay safe my virtual friends,,,,,
The second cup of coffee from the Crossroads corner store at Iron Junction, MN cooled off quickly as we stood on the Rte. 37 overhead bridge waiting for the northbound CNR MRF local freight on the former Missabe. We knew we had 3 south bounds on the "Peg", but that wasn't the reason we came to the range. Just minutes after sunrise, the MRF with CN SD60 5416 raced north past us headed back to Virginia with a good-sized freight. This was a nice start to our day, only to get better with more EMD's and steaming pellets until sunset. CN MRF 5416 Irn Junction, MN September 15, 2021.
After a very yummy lunch with a friend, the road took me down to Elbow Falls. Such a wonderfaul day!!
Getting to the falls early enough in the morning meant we got to enjoy it alone. But that didn't last long, and we had to share the beauty with lots of folks eventually.
I made an effort to get out on the last day of winter, Elbow falls on a glorious but cold day, I was trying out my new Lee Soft Grad filter set I really like them!
