Lake Minniwanka Banff National Park
I discovered this little bay off of Lake Minniwanka. There was a point of land with some color. The lake water was quieting down a bit, so their was some reflection available.The towering mountains in the background

Tamarack
The fall colors of the maple and oak are almost gone now. Standing out in contrast with the green of the pines and spruce, the tamarack displays its beauty. The tamarack is also known as larch.
The Algonquian people named this tree tamarack. The meaning, wood used for snowshoes. Its habitat is low lying areas such as swamps,and bogs. The larch is deciduous and the needles turn yellow in autumn.
I photographed this scene in the late afternoon. Sunlight was filtering through the clouds. The side lighting intensified the yellow color of the tamarack. The backdrop of the green spruce helped to allow the tamarack to stand out in the photo.

Tranquility
A quiet peaceful morning
An overcast sky above
Calm waters prevail
In the quiet nooks
A touch of mist
Floating on the water
A dampness in the air
A place to retreat
To discover nature’s simplicity
The maples orange and red
The angled rock lines
Flowing into the water
The mark of glaciers
Scouring the shoreline rocks
A touch of color
On the time worn rocks
The morning sunlight
Edging the pine needles
A dreamy quieting morning
A soothing restful place

A Quiet Place To Be
This is a scene I captured at David Lake, Killarney Provincial Park. The clouds were fast moving here. The wind was kicking up a fuss here and there. It was one of those trips where photographing was very sporadic. On the left is a point of land that I placed to the left of my composition. A small rock outcrop in the front adds a sense of depth. Two rock islands with vegetation in the middle ground. Then in the background is the far shore that is just starting to show Fall colors. The sun is rising at the far left corner.
There is a touch of mist on the lake’s surface for added affect. The reflections tie in the composition nicely. This is a place where one could sit on a rock by the shore and enjoy a morning coffee. At the same time absorbing the surrounding landscape. A few minutes later the wind picked up and the effect was gone.
Well that is it for now. Until next time happy trails.

Ice And Rock
This composition was taken on my last trip into Grundy Provincial Park. Maureen and I had walked in from the main gate. The hike to Clear Lake that afternoon was very enjoyable. The temperature was warm enough to be comfortable. Clear Lake had ice forming on the surface here and there. The above location was the South shoreline of Clear Lake. The rock structure along here was unique for its patterns. The vegetation was a rustic color. The ice had patterns. The ice in the foreground had blue reflection from the sky.

Soft Colors
The changing of the seasons is upon us. Fall is here. The vegetation is dying off for another year. We are getting into the lovely reddish browns now. One of my favorite colors. As you can see here in this composition the marsh vegetation is turning color. The ferns on the forest floor under the pine trees are starting to change to a yellowish color. Thus breaking up the mass amount of green. The pine trunks stand out in stark contrast. With that being said, I used the small channel of water as my lead in to the pine trees.
That is it for now. Thank you for stopping by. I welcome my new friends who have subscribed to my blog this past week. I hope that you will enjoy what Mother Nature has to offer in my part of the country.
So until next time happy trails.

Daybreak Part 2
The Loon is calling for it’s mate, lost in the mist
The sun is now casting it’s first golden rays
The scattered islands emerge from their nightly vigil
The Four Sisters like sleeping giants
Emerge from the morning mist
Their rounded tops ablaze in red
To meet the dawning of a new day
Out of the mist comes the loon with a flash of wings
To greet the emerging day
With a swirl of wings,four small ducks
Alight among the islands to partake in a morning feed
A whitetail doe emerges from the forest
Ever watchful as she steps to the water’s edge
Dips her head to spate her thirst
When I had first paddled OSA Lake with my wife Maureen,we spotted four rounded rocky tops on the South side of the lake.I was quite taken with the view we had and I jokingly called them the Four Sisters.My wife just smiled and we have called these rock formations that are part of the La Cloche Mountain system by that name ever since.I am not aware as to whether they actually have a name.I am bound and determine to capture this scenic view but will have to wait another year.I captured them in outline but not in detail.
The above photo was taken from the same setup as the photo in the previous post.By waiting and being patient you will get a number of different lighting conditions as the morning progresses.It is quite remarkable to watch this happen while you sit spellbound and in awe of what is happening before you.
That is it for this post.So until next time happy Trails
