"Tokumm Creek"

The turbulent blue glacial waters of a mountain creek flow in a series of rapids through a ravine surrounded by pine trees.

Captured at Marble Canyon in Kootenay National Park, in British Columbia, Canada.
Taken with a Canon Rebel XSi using an 18-55mm lens. No post processing.

Tokumm Creek runs through Marble Canyon which owes its name to its pale marbled limestone and dolomite walls. An interpretive trail of about a mile circles the canyon to a waterfall. Marble Canyon is spanned by several bridges, and has a small information center opened to visitors in the summer.

"Two Cedar Waxwings"

Day 235 of 365

I went for a walk this morning in Indian Battle Park in Lethbridge, Alberta, just strolling along taking pics of wildflowers and berries when I saw something flit by rather quickly. I watched where this little guy was going and saw him sitting in a dead tree at the rivers edge. As I stood there taking pics I noticed that there wasn't just one cedar waxwing but a whole group of them. I stayed there for quite a while taking pics of these guys, really hating the fact that I had to leave them and get back to work. Oh well, another day.

A view of the forest from the outside looking in. Maybe some day someone will go with me so I can actually walk through the forest. I'd get lost going in there by myself.
