Common Goldeneye family

... or rather, part of the family, as there were a few more young ones on Forgetmenot Pond as well, just a short distance from Mom and siblings. This Pond is at the far end of Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66) in the mountains. This man-made lake has the most gorgeous coloured water - as you can see, a beautiful turquoise. I like to take my picnic lunch here - takes maybe 45 minutes to an hour to drive from home. I tend to drive straight there to make sure I can enjoy it in sunshine in case rain clouds develop. Then I call in at various places on the drive back towards home.
