Lots of photos to share with you today.
1st off, on Saturday, July 30, we went kayaking with our friends on the Upper Waterton Lake. It was an unusually calm day but the wind did pick up on occasion while we were on the lake. We were lucky to see a mamma Black Bear with her 3 cubs on the other side of the lake across from Waterton townsite.

Life at Home
The Swainson’s Hawks chicks are nearly ready to leave their nest. We’ve seen one venture out onto a nearby branch. Mum and Dad are really busy bringing them lots of food.
