The Tucci Cookbook
I love reading cookbooks, even if I don’t make any recipes from them, I like looking at the pictures, reading the descriptions, and imagining the possibilities. This is my latest favourite, even though I haven’t made anything from it yet. It’s a gorgeous book, the recipes sound amazing (and don’t appear to be too difficult),…

Safe Passage
There is an abundance of wildlife in Banff National Park and there is also a major highway (The TransCanada) running through the park connecting Banff and Lake Louise. In order to to give the bears, wolves, elk, moose and all the other wildlife an opportunity to move safely throughout the park there are many underpasses…

Sulphur Mountain
Pretty drive up Sulphur Mountain to see if the Banff Upper Hot Springs were re-opened (they weren’t). I really like the way the clouds and the trees look in this picture. As a travel tip, there is a nice hotel called the Rimrock Resort Hotel across from the Hot Springs. I got a really good…

Banff Springs Continued

Banff Springs
I didn’t do too much planning for the trip to Banff so there were only two things on my must do list – go to Lake Louise and actually go into the Banff Springs Hotel and wander around instead of just admiring it from the outside. I did take some pictures inside, but I wasn’t…

hi there!
Back from my vacation and have one more day off to do laundry, groceries…all the usual post vacation tasks. I just started going through my pictures and wanted to share this one…this little guy popped his head up, just waiting to get his picture taken on the way from Kananaskis to Banff.

Lake Louise
Lake Louise is one of the most photographed lakes in the world. It is a spectacular setting and even if you’re not staying at the Chateau Lake Louise, you can have a drink in the Lounge with this as your view. (This was taken with my iPhone.)

Bow River
This is the Bow River at Bow Falls. I have pictures of the Falls on my camera, this one was taken with my iPhone. I never get tired of Banff. This is a good time to visit – its not overrun with tourists and the recent snow just makes the scenery that much prettier.

to the mountains
Three more sleeps until vacation time! I can’t wait. I didn’t take as much time off this summer as I normally would for a variety of reasons and I’m ready for a change of scenery. I have my books picked out, I have some new music and made some new playlists (I’m big on playlists)…

colours of fall
These are mostly pictures I took this morning. I went for a walk, not really planning what I wanted to take pictures of and found a tree with brilliant red leaves. That inspired me to try to get enough pictures to do a “colours of fall” post. When you really look at your surroundings, beauty…
