The Fenland Trail in the morning affords a good opportunity to see wildlife moving around the marsh and river areas. This trail connects to the Bow River Trail which actually goes all the way into Banff townsite proper. If you have time, this is a nice easy walk to get to this area without actually having to drive to get to it. The Vermillion Lakes are slightly to the west of the Fenland Trail and you can either walk to them or drive your car and use the pulloffs available. It’s a bit noisy being so close to the Trans Canada Hwy, but the scenery more than makes up for it. Throughout the day you’ll see numerous waterfowl frequenting the area. The real draw, however, is in the evening when the winds are low and the water is still, making the lake surface a mirror reflection of the now beautifully lit Mt Rundle in the background.

Nikon D50 / 2008/09/11 13:04:43.4 / Image Size: 3900×2400 / Lens: / Focal Length: 300mm / Exposure Mode: / Metering Mode: Multi-Pattern / 1/500 sec – F/5.6 / Exposure Comp.: 0 EV / WARTHOG – Phacochoerus aethiopicus / LOCATION CAPTURED: GROENLAND GAME LODGE, Limpopo Province, South Africa SHOULDER HEIGHT: 72cm / MASS: 68-72kg / GESTATION: 160 – 170 days; average litter 3-4 piglets The warthog is a gregarious, diurnal animal that lives in abandoned aardvark holes. / It enters its hole backwards, a protective measure which enables it to make a quick escape. The male has two pairs of warts. The pair on the muzzle is absent in the female. The warthog is fond of wallowing and rubbing its mud-covered body on stumps, rocks and tree trunks. Its habit of rooting for grass rhizomes often leads to the creation of a wallow. Sight is poor although it has good scent and hearing. / When approached a warthog will often advance towards you, running off only when certain what you are. / It falls prey to lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. / DIET: Grass, roots, bulbs and tubers. Will eat fruit, although it favors short grass. It feeds by resting on its front knees. Requires water daily. /
Nikon D50 / 2008/09/07 16:04:32.4 / Image Size: 3900×2700 / Lens: / Focal Length: 300mm / Exposure Mode: / Metering Mode: Multi-Pattern / 1/400 sec – F/5.6 / Exposure Comp.: 0 EV / Sensitivity: ISO 200 LOCATION CAPTURED: / GROELAND SAFARI’S & GAME LODGE, Tolwe, Limpopo Province, South Africa. / THE TREE SQUIRREL – Paraxerus cepapi These all brown diurnal squirrels, with lighter underparts, are a common feature of the drier savannah bushveld and woodland. Their undulating run along the ground and rapid passage up into a tree are both common sight. / These small animals are usually solitary but pairs, or a small party of a female and two young, may be seen. However, groups of two adult males or females, accompanied by sub-adults, or in the breeding season as many as seven young live together. They will mob a predator, vocalizing a penetrating clicking sound and flicking their tails, while sitting on a safe vantage point. Should the danger increase so will the intensity of the clicking, which will rise to a harsh rattle, while the tail-flickering tempo is similarity increased? In extreme danger they will utter a high pitched whistle. / A common sight in the bushveld is an individual about to enter a nesting hole and being confronted by the occupant, Nose to nose a mutual sniffing will ensure and, if the visitor is from the same group, it will be allowed to visit, but if not, will be chased off. / They are very agile in their arboreal habitat, able to leap for distances up to two meters. They forage on the ground and when disturbed tend to head for their nesting hole, which may mean leaping from tree to tree, they also habitually lie flat on a branch, relying on camouflage and waiting for the danger to pass. They also tend to place themselves behind a branch or tree trunk away from perceived danger. / Their nests are in holes in trees, generally made by woodpeckers; these are grass and leaf lined. Their vocalization, apart from the alarms, is a long drawn-out ‘tchuk-tchuk-tchuk’ interspersed with single ‘tchuks’, which are accompanied by tail-flicking. / Enemies are mongooses, caracal, genets, larger birds of prey and pythons. One two three, usually two, young are produced. / FOOD: They are predominantly vegetarians, eating flowers, leaves, bark, fruit and tender shoots of a wide variety of trees. Both sexes bury hard food, such as nuts, in scattered localities. They are very secretive about doing this and never do so in the presence of another squirrel, despite this stealing does take place.
I saw these guys in a specialty antique store window in Venice, California. They seemed inseparable. And being the GEMINI that I am….I had to imprint the memory of the dynamic duo. :)

The Khanda is one of most important symbols of Sikhism alongside the Ik Onkar. The khanda is like a “coat of arms’ for Sikhs. It became known as the Sikh National anthem, “Deh Shiva Bar Mohe” as the emblem of the Khalsa. It is an amalgam of three symbols, represented by three different items. It is commonly found on the Nishan Sahib or flag of the Sikhs, anywhere in a Gurudwara. There are three different items used in a Khanda, which also have a symbolic meaning: 1. A double-edged sword called a Khanda in the centre / 2. A Chakkar which is circular / 3. Two single-edged swords, or kirpans, are crossed at the bottom and sit on either side of the Khanda and Chakkar. They represent the two characteristics, one being Miri (Temporal power) and the other, Piri (Spirituality). In the symbol the sword to the left represents truth, and the sword to the right represents the willingness to fight for what is right- dharma (religion). The circle in the middle means that there is only one God, never beginning and never ending. This image was Captured at Golden Temple. / Canon 40D / Lens Canon 17-85mm.

This is a photo of Mount Everest which is the highest mountain on Earth. The mountain, which is part of the Himalaya range in Asia, is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal, and Tibet, China. / The highest mountain in the world attracts climbers of all levels, from well experienced mountaineers to novice climbers willing to pay substantial sums to professional mountain guides to complete a successful climb. Climbers are a significant source of tourist revenue for Nepal, whose government also requires all prospective climbers to obtain an expensive permit, costing up to US$25,000 per person. / Canon 30D / / Welcome!
