Cloudy Day Waterton Lakes

 

 

 House of Clouds

By Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I would build a cloudy House
For my thoughts to live in;
When for earth too fancy-loose
And too low for Heaven!
Hush! I talk my dream aloud---
I build it bright to see,---
I build it on the moonlit cloud,
To which I looked with thee.

Cloud-walls of the morning's grey,
Faced with amber column,---
Crowned with crimson cupola
From a sunset solemn!
May mists, for the casements, fetch,
Pale and glimmering;
With a sunbeam hid in each,
And a smell of spring.

Cameron Lake

Cameron Lake is at the end of Akamina Parkway.  There were a lot of tourist so we hike Cameron Lakeshore trail.  The mountain range still had snow and ice against the black mountain peaks.

Bear Sightings Waterton Lakes National Park

We saw several bears on Red Rock Parkway and Akamina Parkway.  I freaked out if the car got too close.  These bears are large and I did not want to get into a bear jam but people are crazy and will not drive slowly pass them. 

Bighorn Sheep Waterton Lakes National Park

This Bighorn sheep was on Red Rock Parkway outside Waterton Lakes Village.  We saw a lot of wildlife driving around the park.
