Stopped on my way south to Los Angeles near the top of Mount Ashland to see how this little waterfalls was holding out. Decided to use my 50mm prime rather than a zoom lens. Much more difficult because I had to position myself and camera/tripod rather than zoom in or out. The rocks were much more slippery than I'd thought, so I tried to avoid stepping on them as I waded up and into to spots I wanted to shoot from. Anyway, gonna post this from the location, and get back to my real job.

The bridge at Slippery Stones, to the north of the end of Howden Reservoir.
The bridge was originally located in the village of Derwent, but moved and re-built here before the waters of Ladybower Reservoir engulfed the village.
Elbow Falls in Kananaskis Alberta seen from the downstream side. It is not for the faint of heart to get here, a serious cliff and muddy slope in the rain were my challenge. On a dry summer day it wouldn't be so bad though its still steep! since I risked myself to get down I made sure I captured some different POV! Going back to the van this part of the trail is not fun
Minnewaska State Park Preserve, NY. Coxing kill creek. Beautiful copper granite bed is quite slippery.
Elora Gorge, Ontario, Canada.
This was taken last Fall, on a cold, windy and rainy day. It was quite a climb down. The rocks were slippery.
A resident plover found on the banks of freshwater lakes and ponds in the country usually in winters. This is an easy to id plover unlike several other species that are so challenging to id. The bird has an yellow eye ring that distinguishes it from the other plovers. This a small plover even amongst the plover species - maybe around 14-16 cms long and about 40 g in weight.
The birds are always seen busily foraging on the shallow wet slippery banks of lakes (usually in the black soil - not red soil). They are often seen in small groups of 2-5 and their presence is indicative to me that other waders are also present around. This shot was taken in a lake on the edge of the city close to my place where 1000's of waders had made home during the winter. I think some were nesting and there is some kind of competitive display among the birds. This one was running away from another bird that was aggressive towards it.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback - much appreciated.
swimming in the lake was always a little dicey if you didn't like invasive species. there were razor clams, blue-green algae, and american eels streaming out of the tributaries, ready to rub their slimey bodies against your water-treading calves. but not so fast..... seems the eels have been dying off suddenly and it's a mystery. as it turns out, they're fascinating creatures. i discovered this after briefly cruising thru a review of "the book of eels" (european eels, in this case). i love the title, it sounds so biblical.... simultaneous righteous and evil connotations. who doesn't love a slippery dichotomy? PS this house is on one of those tributaries.

My friend, Anna, has a unique house and she has created unique solutions to make it work. This is one of her new solutions that I discovered last week when I visited. So much fun to find her surprises in unexpected places. Bellevue Estates. Warrenton, Virginia.
How to caple with the Tides? Reactive or static footbridge: This is the static version in top view. Left wet, right dry. Very clever people on Helgoland (= holy land).

A westbound CN stack train tiptoes at restricted speed through a slide prone area in the Thompson River Canyon just east of the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers. The train is approaching the village of Lytton, most of which was destroyed in a tragic 2021 wildfire. Cleanup of the town site is ongoing with no reconstruction observed on our trip.
