  • Just go!

    Posts have been few and far between for a number of different reasons, but quietly in the background, a trip to Paris has been planned! It’s getting very close to lift off, and I hope to have many pictures to share in the weeks to come. Everyone I’ve talked to about Paris seems to have…

  • the cutest thing you’ve seen today!

    Sometimes it pays to be patient.  Three years ago when I went to Jasper on the annual camping adventure with my parents, I really wanted to get a picture of a mountain goat, just because I didn’t have one and I like taking pictures of animals.  It’s good to have goals, but no mountain goats…

  • a trip to the camera store in Jasper…

    This is one of my favourite pics I took while camping in Jasper National Park.  After supper one night, we drove from Whistlers Campground to Jasper to check out the camera store.  It was closed, so we decided to go on an evening wildlife viewing drive in the Jasper Park Lodge area. While leaving town,…

  • Maligne Lake boat house

    Of the sightseeing we did in Jasper, Maligne Lake was my favourite stop. I think I may even prefer it to Lake Louise which I wasn’t expecting. It’s still a very touristy spot, but has a more relaxed atmosphere, and of course, the scenery is beautiful. The bonus of a cloud-filled sky made for pretty…

    Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park…black bears galore on the drive up!  

  • This week’s view

  • Mount Edith Cavell con’t

    Here is one more Mount Edith Cavell pic.  It’s definitely a must do in my opinion if you’re visiting Jasper.

  • Mount Edith Cavell

    This is a picture of the drive up to Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park in July.  While going through my photo library, I realized there are quite a few pics from that trip I haven’t posted yet (so I expect I’ll post more, along with some more current wintery Saskatchewan scenes in the…

  • “If You Go Out In the Woods Today”

    “If You Go Out In the Woods Today”

    I am terrified and fascinated by bears.  If I sleep in a tent at a campground where there could be bears (and it’s been a few years since I’ve slept in a tent), I don’t sleep until the sun comes up.  I hear every noise – every squirrel scurrying up a tree, every coyote howling…

  • clark’s nutcracker

    According to the Jasper guidebook I had handy on the trip, this is a Clark’s Nutcracker.  These were taken at the Endless Chain mountain road side pull-out on the Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff. I really wanted to see mountain goats on this trip, but they proved elusive. I settled for buying an art…

  • bears

    The sign that greets campers at one of the campgrounds in Jasper National Park. One road side bear sighting so far – I’ll post the pics when I get home.
