On our drive back from our mini vacation in Manitoba, we happened to have a beautiful sunset on our way home.
I loved the sky and how beautiful a sunset can be on the prairies and wanted to capture that beauty.
I underexposed the image to get all the detail in the sky and I felt the darkness of the foreground added a lot to the image.
Plenty more to come.
As always, Thanks for viewing and comments are always welcome.

Off to advanced training she goes! A photo of our (temporary) dog at Burnaby Mountain Park near Vancouver, BC, Canada
About this photo: This is a photo of our 19 month old (temporary) Labrador Retriever that we raised since she was 2 months old when we decided to become puppy raisers for the BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. It has been quite an amazing journey and challenging at times. But, I am happy to report that she was chosen to move on to advanced training. Once she passes that we hope she will be able to make a difference in someone's life!
She left us last week for her new adventure to become a PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) service dog. Apparently she did really well during the flight from Vancouver to Edmonton, she got to meet and play with another PTSD service dog and some other dogs. It sounds like she is already settling in her new environment.
I am happy to hear that she is adapting well, even if we are sad that she is no longer with us. I will get monthly reports while she is in advanced training which will take about 4 to 5 months. After that will she be placed with someone and they will continue training together for some time as well. I sure look forward to the first report!
This photo was taken on the last day she was with us. We gave her some extra cuddles and treats on that day. We sure miss her a lot, she was such a sweet and gentle dog!

The Rocky Mountains are reflected in the perfectly still waters of Bow Lake located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.
These small herbivorous mammals thrive in the high-alpine slopes within rock fields and alpine meadows.

The stars reflect their brilliance off of Lake Annette in Jasper National Park. This photo is a bit of a preview for a post next week that will be debuting over on the Travel Alberta page.

Crowfoot Mountain
The mountain stands at an elevation of 3,055m and is a striking feature of the craggy mountainscape around Bow Lake.
Bow Lake is approximately 30 minutes north of Lake Louise, off the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) in the Canadian Rockies and a half-mile north of the Crowfoot Glacier. Sitting at an elevation of 1,920 m (6,300 ft), it is one of the largest lakes in Banff National Park.
Crowfoot Mountain gets its name from the Crowfoot Glacier, so-named as a result of its distinctive lower part, once etched in the shape of a crow's foot.
Just as the sun dipped behind the hills, Lundbreck Falls gave me this moment — bold, moody, and powerful. The stillness of the snow clinging to the rock contrasted beautifully with the unstoppable movement of the water. A subtle glow lit the clouds, giving the whole scene a cinematic weight.
There’s a feeling here — like nature pausing mid-breath. The bridge in the distance, the storm-rolled sky, the ice beginning to melt… it all felt suspended.
Shot handheld in natural light. The goal was to balance motion with texture, holding onto the shadows without crushing the flow of the water.

A lightening storm and geomagnetic storm on June 22. This was a really neat experience and I wish the clouds hadn't been moving so fast so I could have shot more.

is a mountain located within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, approximately halfway between Banff and Lake Louise. It is the easternmost mountain of the Main Ranges in the Bow Valley and sits astride the Castle Mountain Fault which has thrust older sedimentary and metamorphic rocks forming the upper part of the mountain over the younger rocks forming its base. The mountain's castellated, or castle-like, appearance is a result of erosive processes acting at different rates on the peak's alternating layers of softer shale and harder limestone, dolomite and quartzite.
We set off to hike at a conveniently located rest stop area just past Lake Louise in Banff National Park.
We started by reading a sign that outlined roughly what type of hike it was and how to get to Taylor Lake. It was about 6 km and a total elevation change of 500 feet.
We decided to go for a walk. A couple hours in on our ambitious endeavor, we came across this wooded corridor that seemed to go on forever and aligned perfectly with the morning sun.
For some reason, when you are out in the mountains, every hour is golden hour. It was exceptionally magical for the quick rest stop photo session in the trees, pure delight.
I am kicking myself now for not bringing the reflector, it would have really balanced out the light but now realizing how heavy every item you take with you can be, it was a good choice to leave it behind.
Nestled in the rugged foothills west of Sundre, Alberta, these free-roaming horses embody the untamed spirit of the Canadian wilderness. Thriving in a landscape of dense forests, open meadows, and crisp mountain air, these wild equines have roamed the region for generations.
Their presence is both a symbol of resilience and a tribute to Alberta’s rich frontier heritage.

We hopped in the car and left the big city really early this morning to get out into the park and wait for the sun to rise. The skies looked like they weren't going to cooperate, and we even considered moving on to another location. Fortunately, we waited it out, as we did get some really nice light for at least a few minutes!
If you remember my photo of a chipmunk, I promised you some backstage photos. This funny fellow checked our bags for food and had some snacks. When we returned to our photo shooting this chipmunk decided to show Hanna some posing tips:)
We will leave Moraine for Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, Icefields Parkway, Saskatchewan Crossing River and other numerous Banff, Jasper, Yoho National Parks' lakes. But as a Moraine Lake flashbacks I will post some more Hanna's photos. Stay tuned:)

I spent an hour taking long exposure shots of Lake Louise. Just as I was about to wrap up, I decided to take a shot of this viewing station. I was standing right in front of it taking my photo when this beautiful Clark's nutcracker decided to rest on it for literally a second. I was quick enough to capture it before it flew away. I'll have to share one or two of the more scenic shots soon, but I chose this one for the photo of the day as it would be quite hard to replicate.
