The Cascade Ponds are right outside Banff. It is a favorite picnic and hiking area. And rather popular place to catch reflections of Rundle mountain.

Thanks for your views and comments. Always appreciated.

Have a wonderful weekend!

A view looking up the Lake Louise outlet channel at the lake and the moody skies above on a chilly October day. With beauty like this a person barely notices the cold.

Another shot from this wonderful morning in comments.

Safe travels for those on the move for the Holidays!

Been awhile since I posted an image of my dear canine pal, Teddy. He just turned 15 and is more precious by the day.

He was my companion on the 5 week trip to Alaska a few years ago in my truck camper. Ideal road pal, can't imagine how any dog could have been better. Easily my favorite trip.

May your weekend be wonderful!

A view of this pretty glacial fed river as it flows downstream from the Natural Bridge on it's way to joining the Columbia River.

The River’s unusual name stems from an incident near Wapta Falls in August 1858, Sir James Hector writes:

"A little way above this fall one of our pack horses, to escape the fallen timber, plunged into the river, luckily where it formed an eddy, but the banks were so steep that we had great difficulty in getting him out. In attempting to recatch my own horse, which had strayed off while we were engaged with the one in the water, he kicked me in the chest, but I had luckily got close to him before he struck out, so that I did not get the full force of the blow. However, it knocked me down and rendered me senseless for some time. This was unfortunate, as we had seen no tracks of game in the neighbourhood, and were now without food; but I was so hurt that we could not proceed further that day at least." - James Hector chronicles, 1858.

Enjoy your Sunday!
