  • grey morning

    It’s a grey morning here today… it matches the sky in these pictures from my trip to Banff at the end of October. These were taken on the drive from Kananaskis to Banff which is really scenic (even on a dull, grey, snowy morning).

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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.

  • Mid-morning walk in Kananaskis

  • 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)…

  • Mount Robson

    New windows were installed in my place today so last night was spent taking down curtains and blinds and moving things out of the way.  I really should be putting everything back in place tonight but I’m feeling a bit lazy, so I re-hung my bedroom curtains, put a few things away, and the rest…
