No major encounters of the scary kind today. Wildlife was scarce, it would seem. Butterflies were everywhere along our trail, but few wanted to pose for me.
One shot of this butterfly was all I gotThese geese floated far below our picnic stop on the Athabasca Riveranother butterfly – I think they like the warmth provided by the sun soaked trailfrom the last viewpoint, we spotted these female Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, looking a bit scruffy from the spring moltI took this last close up before we hit the parking lot, a good thing as the stopping vehicles and shutter clicking humans had scared them away
This was pretty much our wildlife for the day until we were somewhere near Nojack. Patty spotted a dog running across the highway and wondered what kind of dog that was…wait…what, no, it was a black bear dodging traffic. No time for the camera, but, we did see a bear on this trip.
Hope you all enjoyed this mountain getaway as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. Ciao.
After working for 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 3+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wanted me to do has been rewarding.
While I still miss the social aspect of working with a team of great people, I have managed to keep in touch with many from my former team and I have many friends and family members who now fulfill this part of my life. Now that my Patty has retired, we are able to spend more time in pursuits and with people who are near and dear to us.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may not become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

Totally enjoyed your Mountain getaway pictures. Looking forward to a trip to the mountains again soon.
Thanks Colleen. We hope to get back in the fall for a few days. These will be our big trips for the year. Yay? Thanks for reading and coming along. Allan
I love seeing butterflies but there seems to be very little this summer. Apparently there are 32 different species, but I haven’t had a chance to capture any of them. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day 😀 Aiva

The sheep are fairly shy, unless it is during the mating season. Thanks for reading Susie. Allan

I was clutching at straws when I called them wildlife. Hopefully see more than butterflies in Jasper in Sept/Oct. Thanks for reading Aiva. Allan
