Challenge #9: Crooked

The crappy summer weather continued into the August long weekend.  Threats of severe weather and guarantees of rain were all over the news so we didn't venture too far.  Finally, on the holiday Monday we decided to get out of town if only for the afternoon.  We drove out to Bow Valley Provincial Park near Seebe, AB and went for a walk on one of the trails.  The walk took through a diverse area within the little park, from the riverbed of the Kananaskis River, where we found trout fry stranded in pools in the rocks away fro the main river, to a high ridge overlooking the river and much of the valley below.  A disturbing part of the hike was near the beaver ponds.  Mosquitoes were particularly thick in that part of the park and we were being eaten alive!



As we walked through the wetland and into the wooded thicket I found this boardwalk to be particularly crooked, along with all of the branches and grasses.  A bit of a stretch, I know, but I'll take it.
