It seems like it's been awhile since I posted last, but I’ve been busy with work and haven’t been taking many pictures. Today, however, I took a bunch of pictures so I’m splitting it up into four posts. This is the first and shortest, just about some of the wildlife I saw on my hikes today. The first picture is of Cascade Mountain, viewed from the Banff Springs Hotel.
The second picture is of a ground squirrel. They are everywhere, and have been causing some problems on the golf course because they like to burrow into the sides of bunkers.
On my way to see the Hoodoos just outside of Banff I saw a bunch of deer as you can see above. For some reason I had an urge to chase after one and see if I could catch it, but I resisted the urge and continued on the trail. All the deer I’ve photographed are mule deer, despite their white tails. White tailed deer have shorter ears and longer white tails.
Hi Allen:
ReplyDeleteIt's great to get some more photos! Wow! Cascade Mtn is impressive! and that's what you see from the hotel??
the ground squirrel looks kind of weird, or big?
and the Mule deer sure have white bums, eh? What would you do with it if you caught a deer? glad you resisted the urge.
great!
