I choose Canada’s Columbia Ice Fields as
my subject for this week’s challenge…
…as many of my images also depict greys
among the white snow.
While freshly, fallen, silent shrouds of snow
were/are a novelty for this blogger…
…the greyness of many images was also noteable.

sleet
rain containing some ice,
as when snow melts as it falls.

Perhaps not quite sleet…
…however, freshly falling snow…
…certainly contained some ice.

As the morning progressed
it soon became obvious…
…even to those who had never seen
fresh snow, that the surroundings of
Canada’s Columbia Ice-Fields
were covered in a blanket of fresh snow

quirky food
not sure what it is, or even if they do know what it is,
it’s been cooked or presented in a way that’s unfamiliar to them.

Perhaps Black Forest Cake, is not really a quirky food,
however, I had no idea that it would be filled
with layers of cream.
The first time someone told us about Beaver Tails
I imagined lots of beavers minus a big fat tail.
It wasn’t until we were up on Grouse Mountain
that I noticed the lack of tail less beavers.
Signage was still advertising Beaver Tails
for consumption though.
It reminded me of a week or so earlier,
after a 14 hour flight from Brisbane we were
directed ‘…go past Tim Hortons…’
in the Vancouver airport.
At least I could envision a Beaver Tail…but
a Tim Horton had me stumped.
One was a tasty pastry while the
other served good coffee.

spectacular
beautiful in a dramatic and eye-catching way.

When the Banff Springs Hotel was built
this was the view from the staff quarters.
This spectacular view is now known as the
Million Dollar View
for good reason.
