Walk-A-Bow

Aug 25, 2011 

Today was one of the cooler nights we have had while here in Cochrane. The over night low was 4 deg. C. So we let the sun come up before we went on the morning ritual walk. From the camp we either head West or East along the path in the free run dog area. Today we went East. 

The river was a lot lower than it was in July, as is evident by some of the alternate pathway having less water and no flow at all. The shot below is one of those path ways not flowing but not yet completely dry.
 

 Next to our campground is the Spray Lake Saw Mill Family Sports Centre. The grounds maintenance person created some flower beds this spring and sowed wild flowers inside them. They are now blooming with a variety natural flower. From a distance (the Road) they look like a bunch of unkempt spots. But up close it's a different story.  

The weed, as I call it because I don't know its' name, below has now gone to seed. This one and many others grow along the 2K Bow walkway. This one may disappear  with a heavy wind and next summer there maybe more of them        

So until next time "Discover It and Live It"
