Mt. Rundle is a jagged mountain that looms up behind the Vermillion Lake, the ridge of peaks runs for 12km south all the way to Canmore.

We stayed at the Vermillion Lakes for a few hours enjoying the scenery and waiting for the sunset; finally we witnessed one of the most breathtaking sunsets we ever saw!

Thank you for your comments, they are always appreciated.

These are the resident pair on Leech Lake.

In the evening when the winds are low and the water is still, a mirror reflection of the beautifully lit Mt. Rundle fill your heart with joy.

Thank you for your comments.

This shot was from three years ago ... I wonder how it looks now. We had been there 20 years ago and then again when I took this shot and the way the glacier was receding was overwhelming.

I'm so proud of these mountains in Alberta, Canada that I'm moved to tears every time I lay my eyes on them. I'm glad i can finally do them justice....

When I'm on him ....I feel we can conquer anything.

Hello my friends! I hope all of you are having a wonderful summer full of good things and lots to photograph! Smile. We have returned from our trip to Canada. Mixed reviews as we had smoke and/or rain the entire trip. Still it was great to get away and experience new things. This is the beautiful Athabasca Falls in Alberta, Canada.

Clouds and sunlight across the pretty Lac Peyto in Alberta.

The Mistaya River is a short river in western Alberta, Canada. It flows through the Canadian Rockies, and a section of the Icefield Parkway was built along its course.

Mistaya River originates in Peyto Lake, a glacial lake of typical blue colour (due to rock flour).

Thank you for your comments, I wish you a great weekend.

I'm grateful and feel very blessed to be able to ride in places like this and to have flickr friends who make an effort to make me smile everyday.

I'm Canadian, we celebrated a month ago but i would like to wish my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving!~ virtual hugs ;-) Straight from the cam.

A lovely view of Peyto Lake in late September a few year ago.

It is closed now till late 2021 for improvements. Hopefully it will be for environment as Parks Canada promises...

Shot of the Icefields Parkway in Alberta Canada leading into mountainous terrain. Actually, the whole 230 km parkway from Lake Louise to Jasper was basically a continuous ride through beautiful mountain scenery. Most scenic ride I have ever been on!

A pretty location there in Banff National Park.

A backyard bird taken through my office window, but this one was on a small deck railing, possibly waiting it's turn at the feeder. It was cold and there was certainly lots of action at the feeder.

I do not know these guys well enough to ID with certainty. If I had to guess I would say that it is a female Common Redpoll. I suppose I have a 50% chance of being right.

A pretty spot there in Canada, between Medicine and Maligne Lakes.

Young bighorn ram - Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

He paused for a few seconds almost as if he was calculating the route he would be taking, then he went bounding up the steep rocks to disappear from view.
