A walk up to Mt. Black Prince Cirque and other things
Abby and Keeper took a walk around Mt. Black Prince Cirque in Kananaskis Country, Alberta today . . . . .
Below, stopping to do some sniffing . . . . Below, this is what Abby saw . . . . the sun at this time of year isn't high enough, I think, to come into this place. Followers of Abby and Keeper's adventures might remember a trip here in August where the snows of winter were still hanging on. Below, on the descent, Keeper turns for a look-see, drawing Abby back. Later in the day, back home, Abby patrols her fenceline in some nicely warm weather. The cold snap which broke yesterday, after starting sub-zero on Dec. 19, was apparently the longest since 1996, before Abby was born. And later, later, in the warmth of a waning afternoon, Abby and Keeper sleep of the remnants of the day. Below, the previous weekend, a blustery end to a walk along Stoney Trail, near Nakiska in K-Country. Below, the weekend, weekend before, before that . . . . some ridge walking in our favourite, deserted place, Abby leading, Keeper picking up the trail. Below, climbing, climbing . . . . . Abby and I walked up the opposite mountain last Fall. Below, Keeper tilts her head to listen at a strange sound . . . . . . lots of ridge walking far off into the distance. Below, Abby ignores the prairie in the distance . . . . Below, Christmas Day, walking a road closed for the winter west of Turner Valley. Hope everyone had a great holiday season.

Great pics once again, Rick! I love that napping on the deck shot!
Nice to hear you're expecting a warm-up, too--I believe some of that may be coming our way soon!

Great pics as usual.
But it looks very cold with all that snow. We need a shivering smiley. |
