Lake O'Hara, Canadian Rockies

Martha and I took a 3 week adventure in the Starr van up the Olympic Peninsula and around the Canadian Rockies. The impetus was to escape Central Oregon’s wildfire smoke and we succeeded. The trip’s high point was miraculously securing a 4 day stay at Lake O’Hara Lodge in the Rockies after years of trying — we serendipitously learned of a last minute cancellation when we were less than an hour away from the lodge. And to cap it all off: the larch trees above the lake were just a day or two past their peak color, and there was a new dusting of snow on the peaks. Up to this point in the trip, my camera hadn't seen the light of day because I'd previously photographed most of the trip's stops under better conditions. But my new Canon R5 Mark II camera came out for Lake O'Hara and the results are shown below.
