This months calendar image features a beautiful pink sky sunset over the sand and lava trails at the south end of Kamaole III beach in Kihei on the island of Maui. As we slip into the colder months here at home I thought it would be nice to share the view from paradise to warm you up!
This months calendar image features a Pump Jack working an oil well on the prairies to the west of Calgary at Sunrise. The sun had just popped up above the horizon and created a beautiful silhouette of the pump against the cloudy landscape.
This months calendar image comes from a recent hike to Larch Valley in Banff National Park to see the Larch trees turn yellow before their needles fall off. Although a conifer, the larch is a deciduous tree and loses its needles in the fall and larch valley is an amazing place to see a valley full of the trees all changing color at the same time.
This months calendar image comes from a recent hike near the Mesa Butte Recreation Area in south Kananaskis. The hazy skies were a result of the forest fire smoke that had drifted across the province from major fires in Washington State. Although the smoke was far from the worst it had been, it was still heavy enough to cause the distant mountains to disappear in the haze.
This months calendar image comes from a recent drive out onto the prairies to the east of Calgary to photograph the sunrise and to search for birds, animals, and scenic landscapes. This hayfield is just south and east of Calgary (near Indus, Alberta) and the huge storm clouds in the background had already passed by to the south of Calgary.
