Fall = Yellow (& white)

2 day camp the Year 6 'Jasper Challenge' went without a hitch - apart from the unrelenting snow that fell on Friday. The family then camped at Thunder lake on Saturday night.
Hike up Maligne Canyon, near Jasper.

Next day, buckets of snow.

The Mighty Icicles in pristine pre-hike condition.

Frozen lunch at Summit Lake. The bad weather alternative to the Bald Hills hike.

The family camped at Thunder Lake on Saturday night with Strands and Hewitts. Falling yellow leaves everywhere. Still water. Loads of ducks and geese. Beautiful clear skies. The heating system in the tent was pushed to its limits. The tea in the teapot froze overnight.



Thunder Lake early in morning. I became momentarily attached to wooden bench due to general iciness.

17 candles + 15 people + 3 grouse + 2 deer + 1 beaver + 1 chocolate zucchini birthday cake + 1 frozen teapot + 2 nuthatches + 4 woodpeckers + 0 heaters in tent = 46 = great way to see in my 47th year.
