In the last few years we’ve made a more conscious effort to spend time in our National Parks. Whether that be Elk Island National Park or one of the mountain parks - Banff or Jasper. And while the scenery of the mountain parks is so appealing, it is the wildlife encounters that I find the most thrilling. Don’t be overly concerned about that - we have a couple of very long lenses and have no desire to put either ourselves or the animals at risk!
