Day 3 - Banff

Today had me up and out at the crack of dawn. I took a taxi to the end of Vermillion lakes with the intent of hiking back into town and shooting along the way. I had a better idea of what I was looking for thanks to yesterday's photo tour. Here's what today brought me...will post in here as I go along. Probably one of the best days I've had in a long time. :)
Started at this end...

I liked this log in the lake.

Found some foot prints...I think they are Raven's feet.

Then I came to this dock...one of 2 docks I shot this morning...I loved the frost and the morning light on it...took a ton of shots from several angles.

Well worth the early start, the light on the water in shot one is really good.

I love the bird tracks around the rock.

Thanks guys...Mt. Rundle from the dock....

Awesome shot Casil. This last one is almost "out of worldy" for some reason, especially if you crop out the dock.

You second pic definitely caught that BC feel....

Thank you AntZ. :)
So continuing on my hike back to town, I stopped again at the beaver pond and decided to do some shooting there....what a fun place to explore!

This last one was beyond the pond and onto the lake...unfortunately, Mt. Rundle (to the right of the shot) was a bit shy and chose to hide in the clouds this morning:
