Our first bear pictures from the front....meaning the rest of them were of his rear! This black bear was enjoying his lunch amidst the flowers, but keeping a wary eye on us(safe in the car) at the same time. We were actually much further away than it looks. I took 23 pics just to get these 3.....just wouldn't cooperate.
Crowfoot Glacier.....over the years it has "lost" it's bottom claw.
This is the claw of the Crowfoot glacier close up.....a good look at the structure of the ice.....years and years of layers upon layers.
The gem of Banff.....Glacier-fed Peyto Lake. That blue color is for real!
Fragile delicate tundra.....near the tree line on the mountain.
The "big one" in Jasper, Athabasca Glacier. This huge glacier is overwhelming. You can climb up to it but it is a hike. It is rapidly receding, as most of them are. Ck out the close up. Ten years ago when we were here the glacier edge was at the parking lot!
Multiple falls.....conveniently right along the road!
Check out these agile baby and Momma goats.....having fun!(More later......Signing off for today)
