Waterton Lake has the best stone skipping anywhere...

These pictures are actually from Sunday to Thursday this past week, in Waterton National Park in the very southwest corner of Alberta. Needless to say, it was gorgeous. If you've never been to Waterton, one of the parks that makes up an International Peace Park along with Glacier National Park in the US, I'd highly recommend it. It's a little piece of heaven.

Were you in your car when you saw the bear or on a trail? Eeek!
I especially love the butterflies and the pebbles, so pretty.
We were in the car when we found this bear, but there were also two (Mom and tot) about 50 ft below the Bertha Lake trail. Julia and I didn't see them, but the French couple coming up the shore trail assured us they were there!
Ha ha as they quickly hurried down! Bears seem friendlier and safer from the car!
