Today’s photo comes from the most wildflower day of my 56 years of existence. We hiked almost 10 miles and had wildflowers for most of them. Sometimes there were so many wildflowers my brain felt like it would explode. So many different ones too. We saw at least a dozen different varieties of wildflowers amongst the thousands (millions?) of total wildflowers.
I didn’t realize this at the time, but our hiking started in Alberta, crossed into British Columbia for three or four miles, and then ended up back in Alberta.
We stayed in Banff for four nights earlier this month. The above photo is of the canvas picture hanging above our bed. I was wondering if we’d ever see the place in the photo. After checking out of the Elkhorn Lodge on the morning of our fifth day, we headed up the Icefields Parkway where we did get that view (below).
We didn’t see any of the big creatures in Canada this year like we saw in Alaska last year. No bears, moose, coyotes, foxes, wolverines, elk, or bighorn sheep. We did see a variety of rodents though.
