This is the most suspiciously boring element of the series
But....flowers are pretty....*not the point*

The category of this is suspicious...but oh well



Doesn't it look like the back of some kinda food related magazine? *excited*
(no it doesn't lol)

Anyway, click on the thumbnail for a larger picture, as always....but mind you this time it's very large due to the fact that it's a collage The next thing in this series should be available tomorrow

The record of a day trip from Calgary on July 13th
Weather of the day: => => =>


On the highway east of Calgary. Canola flowers can be found in abundance in this time of the year.



From the Royal Tyrrell Museum.



Horse Thief Canyon. If you go down from here there are cacti to be seen.



A close up of some wild flowers that are similar in colour and shape as the canolas

I think I'm getting infinitely lazy: I'll just post the pictures without explaining at all....nearly





Arts like these are painted all over major buildings' glass in the city. From city centre to Wal-Marts (as can be seen from Fig.1 I mean...the first picture )

Parade Day (July 4th, I believe)

Let's just say I got a good spot since I was by myself and easily blended









I love the dog









= Police officers with cowboy hats on horses

Intermission



The cleaning truck (mainly for the large amounts of...horse...dung looked like this.

Family Day (July 6th) @ Stampede Park





Just some flowers outside Stampede Park



Miniature donkeys are OMG SO EFFIN CUTE I wish the picture was clearer

Umm...I uploaded these a few days ago, when I got back from my 3-days-2-nights trip in the mountains, but was too lazy to post them online until now
I'm also too lazy to explain in length, so I'll let the pictures do the talking

Day 1 - Weather:



The water from Bow Lake is really, really clear. (Though all lakes I visited there had really clear water...)





The weather was so good, I have no comments...



Canyon of death if one falls over the bridge



The temperature clearly dropped as we walked near the Athabasca Glacier from the Columbia Icefields.



During sunset hours. The mountains were stained red by the last breath of sunlight.

Day 2 - Weather:



Medicine Lake. I have no clue why it's named like that lol



During the rafting (?) session on Maligne Lake...The lake is huge in length and we barely covered 1km of it.....but it was still good scenery lol



Sunlight penetrating the clouds in the afternoon



A lot of trains were seen around this part of Canada (?) ... taken in the town of Jasper at around 11pm. It's scary how late sun sets nowadays....

Day 3 - Weather:



Another glacier to be seen en route.



Still water shows a beautiful reflection in the morning....my only complaint would be that the weather wasn't as clear and sunny as days 1 and 2



From the Athabasca Falls. The canyon formed due to the river's changing of route.



The most beautiful lake I've seen...the water is so blue it was almost magical. The hike on Bow Summit is worth.....200% of one's time and money lol



Bear sighting lol! So many people were crowded on the highway, that we knew immediately something was there... and though it was dangerous we still took a picture of the black bear that was hiding shyly in the bushes
