For several years now I have noticed while driving to work a heron occupies the same spot on Nose Creek each morning. The efficiency of these birds is astounding. In fifteen minutes it captured three small fish for breakfast.
The immense raw beauty of British Columbia's bugaboos region is nothing short of incredible. For a few weeks each year at the peak of the summer, the wildflowers bloom throughout the valley. The fireweed as seen in this photo is unquestionably the most impressive.
Fall is a great time to visit Banff National Park. The air is cool and crisp, crowds have thinned out, and the golden larches ignite the mountain slopes. The elk rut also kicks off during the fall season. From mid September to mid October, in an attempt to win the hearts of the females in the herd, bull elk square off to prove their dominance. Locking antlers and using brute force they take turns forcing one another into submission.
