A walk along the creekbed at Red Rock Canyon in Waterton National Park offers a slightly different perspective than the common view seen from above along the pathway or bridge. I call this photograph Lady by the Creek simply because that's what it is. While edging my way down and along the uneven red rock formations, I spotted this lady sketching in a book. She was relaxed, one foot dangling just above the flowing water, hat on backwards and sunglasses snuggly perched sideways on the hat. Her long grey braided hair hung down the back of her black t-shirt.
She appeared almost oblivious to some youth who pranced and spashed through the water or the adults who wandered past her as she took in the natural charm of this beautiful little red-toned canyon.
I only interrupted her to ask permission to take photos, as I appreciated the solace she must have been enjoying in this particular spot in such a pristine place. How wonderful that she could relax away from the busyness of the world in which we live.
