One of my favourite places, the Grand Canyon. It is dominated by the Reds and browns, much the !any cactus plants when blooming can add a contrasting splash of colour.

Looking over the inner gorge from the Hermit Trail.

Winter is coming, thoughts turn back to summer hikes.

Went for a walk down by the river with the puppies (@senioradventurepups ) and snapped this photo of the Three Sisters Mountain.

Sometimes it is easy to forget what an amazing place it is I get to call home.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I entered this photo in a recent photo contest for hiking the GR20 on @gr20.corse . The category was Red and White, because the blazes that mark the route are red and white.

Photo was taken on the first night on the trail, at Refuge d’Orto di u Piobbu. The Milky Way was prominent in the sky, and I got the red colour by shining the red lamp on my headlamp briefly on the tent.

I did not win, but got an honourable mention, I am pretty happy with that.

I had an Aurora alert a couple days before our trip to Floe Lake, so after taking pictures of the Milky Way over the Rockwall to the south, I looked north and saw the Aurora Borealis and the Milky Way🤩

Sunrise reflections at Floe Lake, Kootenay NP.

The calm before the storm, on our hike out we had two thunderstorms.

Was a beautiful morning with the orange glow off the mountains and the smooth water.

The Sphinx reflecting in Egypt Lake, Banff NP.

Was a great three trip with my dog Volcano (@senioradventurepups), weather was spectacular and met many nice people along the way.

Marvel Lake Banff NP

Woke up at Marvel Campground and hiked th 1.2km to the lake and had breakfast.

The reflection was amazing early in th morning. But glad we hustled, as th wind picked up after about 15 minutes and took away the mirror finish.

Baker Lake, Banff NP

Amazing morning at Baker Lake, mirror smooth finish on the lake. Was a great start to our last day on the trail.

Sawback trail, Moose Meadows to Fish Creek Parking lot.

Double Sun Star.

Baker Lake, Banff NP.

Brilliant morning at Baker Lake to finish off a 4 day trip from Moose Meadows to Lake Louise.

Rained to start the trip, but the lakes and alpine vistas made all the mud and slop a distant memory.

Amazing trip with @kbsymington

It been the wettest spring/summer that I can remember. Never seen the land so green, or the flowers so vibrant.

Mystic Lake, Banff NP.

An amazing alpine lake, nestled in a small valley, roughly 18km hike.

Early morning, no wind, mirror smooth lake, amazing reflection .

A quick climb from Spanish Bottom on the Colorado River leads you to the Doll House (apparently named by cowboys travelling through the area long ago)

It is a visual feast with a variety of shapes and different shades of red, orange, browns and tans.

Need to work in more time to explore on my next trip.

The patterns in embedded in the sand looks like waves frozen in time.

Mesmerising place, we spent several hours exploring, would like to go back and revisit and find some new places.

One the super cool discoveries on our strip to South Coyote Buttes, was the cloud of th sand.

Here is my daughter playing in the sand (some people never grow up) and you can see th different colours coming out in the sand, selecting all the different colours contained within the rocks.

Sometimes you need some scale to appreciate the grandeur of nature.

Can you find one of the two humans on th cliff.

More of the incredible formations of Coyote Buttes South.

Love the way the different layers come together. And that life persists to add a splash of green.
