Seasonal almanac

Right now in nature

  • Grizzly bears spend much of late summer feeding as berry crops ripen across the Bow Valley.

  • Subalpine larches typically turn gold for a brief period before dropping their needles.

  • Trembling aspen leaves shift toward yellow and gold as nights become colder.

  • Willow thickets add muted yellow colour along streams and wet meadow edges.

Timing is approximate and shifts with each year's weather; treat these as what to look for, not a schedule. Planning a shoot or a night out? The sky and light planner has golden hour, moon, and dark-window times for the same days.
