An uprooted log lays on a gravel bank in front of a turquoise river. The mountain slopes across the river are mostly burnt forest from last years wildfire with pristine forest in the far background.

Athabasca River by Morro Slabs and Hwy 16 in Jasper Park Oct 1 2025. The fires last year were extensive around the town of Jasper. A few trails still have to be cleared before they are open again (such as the Valley of the Five Lakes).

Green yellow orange fall leaves of a mountain Ash. There are new red berries from this year and old black berries from last year still on the tree.

Laurier Park in Edmonton Alberta at the end of September. There are no big native hardwood trees in Alberta. The river valley has Balsam Poplar, Aspen, Birch, Pines and Spruce. The trees mostly turn yellow with some orange. The bushes turn red.

Under a orange sky at sunset the downtown buildings sit on top of a river valley. There is a neighbouhood in the foreground with fall colours on the Aspen trees and the 4 glass pyramids of the Muttart Conservatory.

Well thanks, I'll have to look it up and find out and get back to you. I should know more about it (excuses starting) but usually the whole river bank is covered in trees. The Edmonton/Devon Alberta area has oil and Natural gas and coal so it probably is from ancient lake deposits .

This is the North Saskatchewan River by Devon Alberta on the 20 th of September. The Aspen and Birch trees are turning yellow and the occasional orange, the dogwood bushes and ground plants can show reds.

Canola field near Carvel, Alberta. It's an hours drive west of Edmonton. The rain this year has been good so far for the crops and preventing wildfires around here. The ditch is lush with canola and grass and some purple flowers

Skyline trail off the Maligne Road in Jasper Park, Alberta at the end of May 2025. That is Hwy 16 in the distance by the mountains. The trail has been cleared of all the fallen burnt logs, but the fire was just last year. Eerily quiet.

Cherry trees in full bloom on a small patch of grass by a road, a bus stop in the distance. The trees have pink flowers on the upper branches and white flowers on the lower branches. The bigger tree on the right side is a mixture of the two coloured flowers.

Cherry, lilac and mayday trees on May 18 2025 in the High Park neighborhood of Edmonton Alberta. The flowering trees are magnificent this year, or maybe I have more time to wander around and appreciate them.

A snow dusted rocky mountain under a blue sky has morning sun on the top section. There are some yellow Aspen trees in the sunshine and a forest of fir trees on the lower slope. A grey rock is in the foreground with a trail beside it on the left.

This is Mount Temple, Banff Park, Alberta in late morning after a dawn photo shoot at Moraine Lake. It is as you leave the rockpile and turn away from the lake to go towards the parking lot.
