Fall Colours

Been eating way too much food around this holiday season, I have been too tired to take pictures, decided instead to use one taken in October. Kidding (but not about the food), I had saved a picture from October that I thought would go well with the holiday season.  We had received our first major snow including cold temperatures. Spotted a branch with fall colour leaves, covered with snow and in the back ground sunlight coming through. Has a very peaceful quality about it. It reminded me the season of giving, or as I like to call it, season of chocolate. Happy holidays everyone!!

Until next moment,

Small Falls

When I go back to an area I had been to before, I try to come up with a pictures that are different then the ones taken on my previous visits. Sometime the weather makes the process much easier, this time it was going to be about the water. I always have certain templates in my head for a picture, but far more fun being original. I was visiting Johnston Canyon early in the morning. As I was heading for the upper fall, I kept looking at the water to see what would work, it would be nice to include the fall colours. On the way back I started to take the pictures, along the way I would change lens to take pictures of the birds and the leaves that had their fall colours. But I would focus back to the water, to come up with a picture I had not taken before. I was able to and the added bonus of the fall colours.

Fall Colours and Ice

The sky was to open up in the morning, but Mother Nature has her own plans when it comes to weather forecasting. We still headed toward Moraine Lake to do the Wenkchemna Pass trail. It was a cool morning, and rain drops started to fall, we still drove on. Dark clouds above us and light snow falling, we still drove on. We’re cold once we got out of the car, looking forward to hitting the switchbacks to warm up. Off we went, the sky was slowly opening up. Once we were out of the trees, beautiful views of the ten peaks surrounding Moraine Lake. Sunlight was out, but still the occasional heavy gusts of wind. We reached the pass and did not bother spending too much time there. Temperature was 3 degree and very heavy winds coming from the west. Amazing views all around, with the ruggedness of the mountains and glaciers and the softness of the fall colours form the Larch trees. Deciding what to take pictures of was easy, as we headed back to the trail head.
