From Summer to Snow

[Rick C]

Some shots from the last few months in our neck of the woods . . . .

Last week, a walk in snowy Kananaskis Country . . . . Pete on the Sheep River.



Below, we're the only people or tracks here . . . . Ruby and Pete pause to listen up in the bush. Interestingly, on the way back, they became agitated in this spot as we continued to retrace our steps on the descent. It was only when we reached a fork in the trail that I noticed some fresh bear tracks leading to the right while our own trail led to the left. We'd been following a bear down the mountain, somewhere between five minutes to 30 minutes trailing based on the time we spent returning. Maybe the bear was standing right there and I didn't notice!!!



Below, Ruby at the top of the Humps. Some Bighorn Sheep had been there earlier, making tracks in the fresh snow.
