Breastfeeding gets complicated

Faint rainbow over Chief Mountain, in center of picture

 WATERTON LAKES, AB -- On the way here from Glacier National Park in the U.S., you roll over noisy cattle-guards that serve as a warning that you must now share the road with bovines unfettered by fences.

 Oh, there are plenty of fences.  They just don't keep the cows from going wherever they want.

 The pale calf in the top picture has somehow gotten out of the fenced pasture, and is trying to do the fast-food thing through a gate.

 The second photo shows Chief Mountain, nearly hidden by a cloud, but perfectly centered under a rainbow.  Chief Mountain is a famous landmark in these parts, visible for miles around.  It is on the reservation of the Blackfeet Indians, who consider it sacred ground.
