Not sure what the occasion was at Emerald Lake's Cilantro Cafe this early morning but the falling snow didn't chill their celebrating and visiting. Easy to be happy here. Irish coffee's are ideal for such times, as many were enjoying.
I don't shoot buildings often but you might have noticed I like this well-located cafe a lot. It compliments the location so well and has a fairytale quality to it.
Still subzero here. Doesn't look like we'll get above freezing for another week. I hibernate like a bear during spells like this, enjoying them. Do know many have it much worse.
Keep safe and warm.

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!

Spring's high waters left a woody souvenir as the waters leave Yoho's Emerald lake. The fall foliage added nice contrasts with the glacial waters.
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated!
