water

Water in its myriad forms, colors, strengths, and settings is such a compelling substance.  Below are just a few of these.

Waterfowl Lake along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park, Canada

Athabasca River, Jasper National Park, Canada

Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park, Canada

The water, which is fed by the Daly Glacier of the Waputik Icefield, falls about 1260 ft (384 m) making it one of the highest falls in Canada.  Takakkaw means "magnificent" in Cree.

Waterfowl Lake

a beautiful lake along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies.   The water is a lovely turquoise to seafoam green even on this cloudy day.  In early September most flowers have gone to seed and the greens are touched with gold.

a beautiful spot where my husband and I shared a picnic lunch on a previous visit.  I love this small clump of aspens.  Peeking through the trunks are mountains.
