We went to Palm Springs again this fall. Most of the photos I took were from hikes that we did rather than anything urban. The majority of these photos are from the Coachella Valley Preserve. Notably, the Pushwalla trail ridge hike, the McCallum trail and the Moon Country trail. The old car wreck is from the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve.

This is a fun thing that CN does every year in early December to support local charities. They dress up an engine and a few cars and take people for a short ride from north Edmonton into St. Albert and back. They were kind enough to stop on the trestle bridge for a few minutes for the photo op, otherwise these would ALL have had blur in them.

Here’s another photo I took of the Walterdale bridge in Edmonton the other day. All I did here was set my camera totally out of focus and this was the result.

The new(ish) Walterdale Bridge in Edmonton. It’s nice the way it lights up, people around here seem to quite like it.

Moose on the Loose (three photos)

A rare moose sighting in a park not far from where I live. This guy was stripping tree branches for food and wasn’t in any hurry to go anywhere. I found it interesting that he had a tag in his ear, so I guess the wildlife people have been keeping track of him. Ironically, or is it just coincidentally, this was on my Mother’s birthday when my Dad always used to be on a moose hunting trip. He no longer goes on those, so this year it was my turn to ‘shoot’ a moose instead. Click on the individual photos to see larger versions and exif details.

A beaver lodge with some fall colours and reflections taken from my balcony. We enjoyed watching the beavers build it right across from our condo over the past spring and summer. We haven’t seen them for a few weeks now though, I don’t know where they went.
