Water of the spirits

Returned to Banff National Park on Friday to hike up Cascade Mountain with a friend. Afterwards, we took over a couple of Muskoka chairs on the shore of Lake Minnewanka for a quick, late lunch — with a nice view on the side.

Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California

I don’t know what the emergency was on Venice Beach that fall morning back in 2013, but these folks were busy sending out an SOS with help from the native vegetation.

Sandy haven

With winter gripping so many parts of North America, a little bit of mental escape might be in order. This is the west side of Puerto Rico, Domes Beach in Rincon, as it was in 2006. (The island might be worth another visit, now that I think about it …)
