So nice to arrive to read your comments. So glad you like this one. :)
Dick, it was a little difficult with this one. The fractalius filter has so many adjustment sliders and I had to circle the gambit to find just the spot I liked.
This really is a special place to me. It's off into the "boonies" beyond the famous Banff Springs golf course. No one knows about this utility road really (Tourist's and buses certainly do not!) so it's fun to take visitors there or to go myself. The wild life find tranquility there and so do we! :)
Ron, in July, this spot goes from a flood zone into a creek. But never fear, You will still see water when you get here. Bow Falls and Johnston's Canyon will delight you! (Plus others).
Do you guys remember "SKULL RIDGE" from my Halloween series? That image was taken in this same area B4 the road turns to dirt.
Brett, we have lots of beaver here. They stay private like this however. They are Canada's animal symbol.
I so much enjoyed sharing this one with you. Thank you all for stopping by!

Chrissy, seems I have to go to *BC* to see BEAVERS! They are EVERYWHERE there. Especially in the Okanagan. Near the Lake. TONS. IN TOWN EVEN! I see Dams here in Alberta but never a BEAVER yet that I can remember. I wonder if they are aggressive?
I am sure the parks dept people have seen them. SOMEBODY is building those pretty dams! HA! (And it better not be BOY SCOUTS playing tricks!)
Thank again Laura Lee, Tommy and Chris!
