Calgary and area has had fantastic weather this fall. We were able to go camping twice in October which is practically unheard of. The yellow and green foliage was very pretty, red definitely missing.
We went to Gooseberry as it was one of only two campsites in Kananaskis that was still open, and it is close to home, plus it has electricity.
We did a bit of biking, and some walking, fortunately we did not see any bears.
Gooseberry has a lovely little path that runs parallel to the beaver ponds, I think there are five ponds that those industrious little beavers have built.
This little chipmunk was curious to see what we were doing….just cooking baby back ribs in the hot coals.
This deer practically posed for his photo.
The squirrels were busy little critters.
Elbow Falls is just a short drive from Gooseberry.
I am sure I remember the falls as being much larger. Guess we have to wait for spring run off to see lots of rushing water!
Sometimes we just get to sit back and relax.
And sometimes we just have fun!
Even the dead fall has its own beauty.
I searched long and hard for a bit of red…..not much!
Darkness comes early in the foothills in October. For a brief period the sky is glorious.
Our travel has been severely curtailed for this coming winter. I am thankful for the beauty surrounding us.
Until next time.
Cheers
Ruth
