We have had some freezing rain today, which put some ice on the trees. The birds, including the goldfinches, were busy around our feeders. Â

Views around Kananaskis
Last summer my daughter and I enjoyed some time in the Kananaskis area. Beautiful scenery!Â
Sleighride
We were able to enjoy a winter sleigh ride the other day. The weather was beautiful, and the countryside was nice and peaceful.
Snow, Snow, and More Snow
Snow, snow, and more snow! We are certainly getting lots of it. I still think it’s beautiful. Â
Playing with Snowflakes
We have had a lot of snow this winter, and I finally went out to try to get some pictures of snowflakes. It’s hard to do with the lens I have, and hard to get them to be sharp. I did like these ones though, and will have to try again, possibly with another lens. […]
Hoodoos at Canmore
While my daughter and I were in Canmore last summer, we climbed the hill behind the hotel to see the hoodoos. There were only a few, but it was well worth the climb. They do look very different from the ones in the Drumheller area. Â Â

Fog in the winter looks very different from the fog we see in the summer. As the weather warms, the snow and ice can bring about a beautiful fog. This morning, I took a walk to see the fog on our lake which hid some of the fishing huts, and simplified the scenery. Â
Lake Minnewanka

Mount Norquay, Banff, Alberta
Last summer, my daughter and I went to Mount Norquay, overlooking Banff. She went to climb the mountain, and I went to take photos. Both of us really enjoyed ourselves.
Waiting for the Super-Moon
I’ve never actually watched the moon rise. Usually I first notice it when the moon is actually showing or is above the horizon. We saw the super-moon on the 13th after the moon was already up, so we decided to try and catch the moon coming up the next night. We didn’t realize that it […]
