We are reaching peak flower time for some species, so it’s an excellent time to really enjoy them.
May you have a wonderful day.

Three Sisters
The Three Sisters are a trio of mountain peaks near Canmore, Alberta.
They are a part of the Rocky Mountain range and are frequently climbed although they vary considerably in difficulty.
Before attempting any or all of them, it’s necessary to have the skill and expertise to handle their demands.
Happy Thursday.
Greetings from Banff National Park
About three hours east of Revelstoke, British Columbia, is Banff National Park and Banff townsite.
It’s one of the gems of Canada’s national park system …
… and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every one of our visits.
Happy Wednesday.

Sunset in Revelstoke
Revelstoke is a small city in the valley between British Columbia’s Selkirk and Monashee Mountain ranges.
It’s known for its challenging, vertical drop black diamond skiing in winter, but we were enjoying its summer hiking trails instead.
Happy Tuesday.
A Few Lilies for Your Monday
Some of the pond lilies have started blooming.
Also known as water lilies, they flower intermittently from about the end of June until the beginning of September.
There are yellow varieties, too …
… but no pictures of them yet!
Happy Monday.
A Sailboat at Day’s End
A lovely thing to see …
… a sailboat at day’s end …
… one of life’s little gifts.
Happy Sunday.
Late Season Ducklings
I spotted this large brood of ducklings – nine in all – out learning about life with their mom.
I think this is either a late brood or a second brood. Ducks will sometimes “renest” if they lose the first nest or all of their hatchlings to a predator.
This may be the case with this brood or possibly the mother duck decided to raise a second family. That can frequently happen with ducks that don’t migrate since they don’t have to expend resources on migration; ours here stay through the winter.
Happy Saturday.

Happy Friday.
Fireworks
I love fireworks and the city put on a good show out over the lake for Canada Day. The weather was perfect and there were lots of boats …
… and people on the beach …
… to see this …
… and this …
… and this, too …
…followed by a fantastic grand finale.
Happy Thursday. 🎇
