  • 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…

  • looking out my window

    Saw this little guy hanging out on the tree outside my living room window…this was before we got a foot of snow on the weekend!  

  • prairie meets the sky

    I love the mountains, but the prairies are beautiful, too. A lot of people passing through the province on the TransCanada Highway think there is nothing to see, but how can you not love the wide open spaces, fields upon fields, and endless skies?

  • 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

    I was actually pretty happy that it snowed in Banff, everything looked so pretty.

  • 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.)
