From the Cahaba River near Birmingham, AL. These lillies are found only in the SE US on river shoals-  shallow fast water and lots of sunshine. They each live for only a day and then die.

The first and the last our my faves. If you were to clone the other structures but the house out of the last one it might even be nicer. Enjoy your Alberta trip and post some of your pics.:-) Cheer ...

This is an area south of Birmingham, AL on the Cahaba River, one of the most diverse rivers in the US. These lillies are found in the southeast- GA, AL, SC-  blooming in mid-May to early June. ...

It's a beautiful waterfall and I like your final product. It's a good thing you had that portion of blue sky visible because it adds a lot to the image, color-wise. Gary

Looks like a beautiful area. The last two are really nice. Gary

I love these flowers.

Agree with Oz---- #4 :-)

Thanks Jim. It is a very scenic area; Many trails/waterfalls and nice breezes which help in the Alabama summers.:-) Gary

Thanks Tom. I wish I would have taken a little more time to zoom in on the play of the light on the rocks in that segment of the scene (#3), instead of having to crop so heavily. Oh well... Gary

These 45' falls are near Mentone, AL. The Little River runs for many miles on top of Lookout Mountain in one of the prettiest spots in the state. Shot with K5II and 21or 55-300. A tight crop

#5 is a real gem.

I like them! :-)

Feel for you Bob. Since both my parents died I have taken some degree of consolation that they are still with me in a spiritual yet very real sense. That's a great metaphorical shot you took there. ...

I like them all, but especially number 2. Very delicate and colorful.

I have no idea which Ford model or year this is.

Lovely shots. #3 is a gem. Gary

Nice shooting. The azaleas remind me of my hometown- "The Azalea City"- Mobile, AL. Gary

I totally agree. I have (unfortunately) just recently paid sufficient attention to WB and it makes a HUGE difference, pre and post-shot in PP. I use an old version of Photoshop Elements. Sometimes ...

I agree with Tom. Looks like a nice place to visit too. Gary

Thanks Brian. I guess the gators normally stay back in the coves off the main channel of the river, but I'd be nervous if I had dogs.
