Trail along the water
If you are in the neighbourhood of Moraine Lake, and want to hike, the trail along the lake is a good one. No hills! You will need to walk on gravel and dirt and around trees.
And there is the occasional footbridge.
And it's beautiful!

— The Academy (@TheAcademy) August 12, 2014This death was like a punch to the gut. I've been sad about other beloved actors passing, like James Garner recently. But Robin Williams dying is just so hard to comprehend.
My family lived in Moscow from 1977-79 - the one in the USSR. We heard about this brilliant new comic and when we got back to Canada, one of the first TV shows we watched in the hotel room was Mork and Mindy. He lit up the screen and was so wonderful and electric - but you knew that.
I hold no judgement on how he died - depression is an awful and terrible disease and my heart breaks for him. I post this with love - an international list of suicide crisis hotlines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines.

Elk in Banff National Park
No drive along the Bow Valley Parkway is complete without spotting at least one wild animal. Like this handsome fella.

Moraine Lake again
Last week I went back to Moraine Lake, this time with a couple of friends. The lake was higher, thanks to melted snow, and oh so beautiful.

Kitties and the heat
After the unusually long winter we had, I vowed that I would not complain about the heat this summer. So all I have to say is "Wowzers, this week has been a scorcher". :-)
The kitties are tolerating the heat. Here are a few shots from today.
These two are becoming friendlier and friendlier, when Charlie isn't swatting Chloe for some kitty reason.
Little Miss Hermione had some hygiene issues last night, ones that long-haired cats are prone to. I insisted on taking her into the bathroom to clean her up. She hasn't quite forgiven me yet. :-)
