Nice shots! Those bugs are so cute :) I got pictures of 2 of them years ago, they looked like they were talking to each other on a piece of grass. They are pretty small. Gotta love macro lenses. I'm glad

I'm glad I finally found you guys under your new name! I had been searching for a while! Glad to see you made the move to the new chain.

I keep looking for your posts now that I'm back on hive, I'm a little lost with the communities, do you post somewhere I can't see on your page or taking a break for now?

Oh yeah! I need me one them hats! And a cow wallet to go with it, I'm leaving my hat home and going full tourist on this one! No wonder Albertans seem to get along better with Australians then the rest

I might have a new hat by then but I will bring the new one anyway, it's at the end of it's life after being soaked in the rain, sun-baked, sat on, packed and unpacked for the last 5 years, it's in rough

Such a beautiful message! I agree with it all. I grew up in difficult situations so I learned these lessons at an early age, always analyze situations and my own behavior towards others. We all make mistakes

I'm like a cat, I don't like the rain much especially when it's cold but I can tolerate it if I'm somewhere fun. Haha yes, the couch potato adventures, might as well have fun with it. Covid has got everyone

Wow I will never leave that beach if I get my feet in that warm sand and turquoise water! I can almost feel it on my feet already! So amazing. You are lucky to live by that beach, I would be there every

You have to go, it's absolutely amazing, you might not want to come back, well maybe when winter hits you will lol. Actually it's a huge landscape full of surprises. Any specific area of interest? Athabasca

I bet it wont be with no international tourists, I might see about staying near Canmore and go venture around there and Moraine Lake, ever do the Consolation Lakes trail? 5km each way but there are bears

Thanks for the tokens! YESSS Water-tasters of the world unite...who has the best water! lol (I like glacier water) I agree with connecting with nature, I love the city but I need to energize from time

Camping in a tent is pretty much forbidden and all the shower/bathroom facilities are closed, pretty much the only option is staying in a hotel or camping with a trailer equipped with bathroom and shower.

Hopefully it's sell sell sell! for a while, I'm hoping for the prices to come down a bit so I can back up the truck when I go back to work...well at these prices more like back up my purse, haha. I cringe

He's such a cutie! I had one climb into my hand at Moraine Lake. They are fast moving and hard to capture, great shot! Gotta love our Rockies, thanks for sharing.

I love cascade mountain! Looks gorgeous full of snow. I haven't been since last year maybe the year before. Maybe with that pesky cold it might be quieter with less tourist, I can actually enjoy the town!

No I haven't! That's in the Kooteney's or Yoho isn't it? I was looking to book a camping trip there too in the next couple of weeks but same as you...that pesky cold put a damper on it...both parks, boo

Beautiful scenery! When visiting a place such as this, you have to stop to take in the nature, it's so peaceful. I'm not a survivalist and I always have to check the water temperature and sometimes taste

Thanks! It's definitely visit worthy, I highly recommend it for a lovely walk even if you don't make it to the mine. You are right, I could spend a lifetime exploring the Rockies and I plan on it! Document

Nice pictures and nice find with the Corpse flower! We have a plant conservatory with a couple of them, they are intriguing indeed but they smell like hot garbage that's been sitting in the sun a few days
