Moraine Lake
A photo taken on Monday, when friends and I went to Moraine Lake to hike the Larch Valley trail. The day was overcast for most of the time and the low light was not good for photography, but at least you get an idea of the magnificent colour of Moraine Lake and the spectacular mountains of the Valley of the Ten Peaks.
"Moraine Lake is a glacially-fed lake in Banff National Park, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) outside the Village of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 6,183 feet (1,885 m). The lake has a surface area of .5 square kilometres (0.19 sq mi).
The lake, being glacially fed, does not reach its crest until mid to late June. When it is full, it reflects a distinct shade of blue. The color is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis." From Wikipedia.

Update re the 12 boxes of sentimental things that belonged to my brother and my parents, which have at last arrived in Calgary from England. Yesterday afternoon, I went to the Customs Office and got clearance on them. Now, it is just a matter of waiting for them to be delivered to my home.
When I got back home, there was a notice in my mailbox announcing that we will be getting new roofs - apparently, they were damaged by hail in 2010. Also, new front and patio doors will be replaced this fall (starting more or less straight away) and all windows! Just in nice time for the cold weather arriving! Last thing I had heard was that it was going to be next year after all, and so my sorting and clearing came to an abrupt end two or three months ago. How I wish I had kept going, but I just couldn't summon up any energy or motivation. Now, of course, I am about to have people in every corner of my place, being attacked by all the ferocious dust bunnies, and needing to actually be able to reach the windows. Or perhaps they will be shy of people and keep out of sight - but unfortunately, dust bunnies just don't go away. Did I really think I could just collapse once my boxes arrived and work on things like backing-up my photos from this year, lol? Looks like I'll have to try and limit my time on Flickr in the next little while! Vacuum cleaner - get ready for the total shock of being plugged in and turned on! IF it happens : )
