COME ON!!!

Okay...how many more pictures of mountains can you post!!! Lots is the answer. This is but a smattering, trust me....so far I think I have taken around 800? Don't worry, I won't force you to look at them. But just want to post the last day for your enjoyment...and mine....Can't believe it has already been a week....we celebrated our 1st vow anniversary at a fondue place here in Banff....lovely. We went over to the Kootenay National Park today....again...spectacular. This has been the best vacation and the best of times with eachother....I would never have dreamed or even feigned to hope that I would be at this place in my life....both physically in the Canadian Rockies, or emotionally with my husband. Both have been breathtaking. Both have exceeded even MY expectations....I am happy, whatever that is ....for you.....for me, it is having my husband be my best friend, my love, my life and have that returned many times over....it has been a short time and a long time both at the SAME time...how does that happen? Anyway....so we live another day...paying attention to our own lives and the lives of eachother. It works. Ciao!

Huh?

Woke up late this morning...ahhh....the joys of vacation....it was snowing outside, the stillness here is almost deafening....I have forgotten what quiet in nature sounds like...it is peace. As I sat out on the back porch overlooking the pines and pinnacles of the Canadian Rockies, a HUGE native raven flew on to the porch to share the stillness awhile with me before taking off to find his breakfast I am sure....just hope it is not going to be my little morning friend the ground squirrel....he comes out daily for me to see his beauty and work ethics. The day held everything in it. The snow, the rain, the clouds, the light reflecting off the seasons last snow....the air is cool and dry and crisp....not like home where you can literally smother to death just getting to your car some days....it it refreshing with every breath and with every site my sore eyes see....here, again is just a smattering of pictures for you to drool over...and for me to cherish when I get back to the Oklahoma heat! Enjoy as I have....again, check my flicker on the slideshow to enjoy more...

OH CANADA! FER SURE!!

Okay...this is so stinking beautiful!! It has taken our breath away around every corner! You were right Uncle Donnie!! On Sunday, we mosied down to the town of Banff which is only about 2 minutes from the Buffalo Lodge. It was the weekend and fairly full of tourists, but still a good time just looking in shops and at people. Today, we took off and went down highway 1A up to Lake Louise...O.M.GOSH how gorgeous!! Then we took highway 1 or the Trans Canadian Highway up through Yoho National Park, into Golden British Columbia, down to Glacier National Park and back to Banff. Unbelievable sites we saw. The mountain range here just supercedes the Colorado Rockies by a long shot!! And of course, the pictures do NOT do it justice. The water is clear and blue and green and snow and, and, and....here are a few pics, but someday, you MUST see this for yourselves!
