Ron, You and Shirley and Oscar just come on up when it's best for you guys. Each month brings new things to enjoy so it's hard to get it ALL at once.
May- Low season. Snow and Rain. Animals over protective over their young. Now and in early June...
June- LOW/HIGH season. Rain, Sun. Wild Life. Exciting changable weather. Ealry June SNOW in the MTNS...(I LIKE JUNE!)
July- Rain and Flowers. Heat. Wildlife still. Mid JULY LOTS OF WILD FLOWERS. (I like July).
August- TOURISTS! Less animals. Planted flowers still remain in Banff and are beautiful around the store businesses. HEAT.
August ALSO brings the turquoise waters in the lakes more than other months. BUT NOT A RULE!
Sept - Cool weather...Less tourists after school starts. Rates drop. Mostly pine trees in the area but other trees are turning yellow. NOT TOO MANY BURNT ORANGES etc like in the East.
Oct- COLD! Turns to WINTER by the end of the month.
Nov-March Winter! April/May IFFY. SNOW.
Okay- that's the low down for my area!

Thanks Tammy Girl! :))))

Hi Kiki-wiki. (Hey if Brother Rolan can do it why cant I?)
I wish you had been on the trail with me. It was really a special walk. I am just glad I can share it with special people NOW! Glad you liked it, SSS.

Thanks Topaz Tommy. (HEY! I AM ON A RENAMING ROLL TODAY!) All this image needs now is the magical touch of the topaz filter...but alas...I still cant figure out the free trail programs! HA! I'm USELESS at them!
Thanks you guys! You really brighten my days and make me want to keep my standards of shooting high!
