An antlered deer strides confidently down a snow-packed gravel road, while its young forages in the sparse, dead grasses lining the path. Snow dominates in all directions around the pair, towering up the empty hillside.
Tiny crystals of ice gleam atop the smooth icy surface of a frozen river, jutting sharp, miniature spires into faded sunlight.
A cluster of cousins snowshoe through the forests of northern Manitoba, dressed in warm winter gear to combat the thirty-below temperature. Their snowshoes flatten the pillowy snow as they explore a creekbed.
The deep shadow of winter in the mountains falls over Kananaskis' Sheep River, the typically-rushing water frozen solid except for small pools near the shore. In the distance, the bright glow of spring's sunlight washes over the foothills through thin clouds.

A photo of three hikers walking along a mountain ridge covered in snow, along a packed-down trail leading away from the viewer. A large mountain looms in the distance straight ahead.
Ridge Walk - Feb 7, 2026.
The nice thing about getting 90% of the elevation covered in the first half of any hike is that you can simply enjoy the views for the rest of it.

A photo of a solo hiker standing in the far distance on a rocky promontory, overlooking a snowy mountain valley on a sunny day.
Views from near the the top of King Creek Ridge, #Kananaskis, #Alberta. 850 m elevation in just 4 km but worth every step of the way. Might have taken some of my best shots ever on this climb.

A photo of a small black and white bird with a yellow crest, perched on the bark of a tree, with foliage visible behind it.
Heard we're doing #BirdoftheDay so here's an American three-toed woodpecker, doing what they do best. Gotta love when they strike a pose, like they know you're waiting.

It's nice when warm weather, clear skies and solar activity line up. #NorthernLights #Kananaskis
The aurora borealis or northern lights glow crimson, violet and green over spruce trees. The stars dot the sky through the colour.

Taken March 17, 2019 as the sun sets behind the mountains west of Calgary near Kananaskis. There is a yellow glow behind the Rockies, which are snow-covered and getting gray and dark as it is nearly dusk. In the foreground, is a barbed wire fence and grazing on the grass poking out of the snowy patches in a large flat field is a light coloured horse. In the distance, there are trees and a few homes, with smoke rising as if from a chimney.
Winter mood.

Like many I follow I like to make mention of #InternationalMountainDay (Dec 11). Here are photos of a friend (with her long lens) and a stranger (at the same lake where I took my #BlueSky home page photo), both with a #mountain in them. π

Kananaskis Lakes showing off its best side. That turquoise water is unreal! Such a peaceful spot in the Rockies.

At least for this winter, we believe we can safely say the #Kananaskis clearcut will NOT proceed.
If it weren't for our collective efforts to pause this logging (multiple times), the #BullTrout population we confirmed might already be gone ππ§ͺπ¬
As ever, let's keep going!
