Seattle Forrest

That camouflaging is pretty good.

He was pleasant. I think he wanted food. The short hike to the lake is very popular. I suspect tourists feed them. Also seen during the hike was a hoary marmot entertaining visitors by playing around in a snow bank. I only had a limited amount of film to take into the backcountry for a week so I had to be judicious with my picture taking. At a minimum, the critters along the trail are so accustomed to people that they are not to wary of them.

In Waterton Village, which is in the Canadian portion of the park, there are deer and goats wandering around town. The last time I was there, a deer was harassing a woman despite the fact that she was walking a yappy dog. The deer kept following the woman, who, in response, kept flinging her arm trying to shoo the poor thing away. It was obvious that the deer though she was going to throw food. Imagine playing fetch with a dog. When you fling your arm, pretending to throw the stick, the dog looks in the direction where the stick would have gone had you released it. That's exactly what the deer was doing. This went on for several minutes. Quite a scene. She finally made it to the safety of her RV.

I ride by this regularly, & finally stopped to take a pic.
It is similar but newer than the one that my uncle restored at his ranch- 192? Denby.
The dash is the gas tank, crank start, top speed 5 mph, solid rubber tires, cast iron wheels, cab available at extra cost.
He drove it as a kid, & lately made a new bent-wood steering wheel, cab parts, etc.etc.

Stop to take a pic when the workout is over or at a rest point. Almost all of my riding is structured workouts. As such, I do not stop except for a programmed rest (RBI) so that is a time to take a photo, if it works. Descents after a long interval climb are prime chances to stop. For example, I may see something on the way up that I will stop and shoot on the way down. So one can incorporate photo ops into structure without mucking up the workout goals.

Most of my riding is on the same routes that I do over and over again such that I have a lot of pics already and not much new to shoot.

End of the ride at the southern most point in New Zealand. The sign shows the distances and direction to other places. The next stop south is Antarctica.

If I encounter a javalina on a ride, I try to stay a good distance from them. You never know wjat they'll do.

On my leisure rides, I am in no hurry and probably drop to 12-15 mph. Riding solo, I can stop anytime. What is cool is I've met fellow photo enthusiasts over the years. One year I spotted an elk down in the valley and a dude rode up behind me as I was taking photos. We just stood there in silence as the elk looked at us and continued to feed on some old hay bales. He loaned me his little studio when I tried portrait photography.
