| We had a wonderful drive to DH's conference in Banff. Here are some views along the way.
First some of the Indian Paint Brush blooms along the roads. They vary in color from red to pink to salmon to yellow. I'm told that sucking the stamens gives nourishment if you are stranded..a honey-like taste. 
Alberta is "wild rose country" as you can see here:
Anyone know what these low growers are?

| Beautiful, 'bug! Makes me yearn for a mountain vacation. It's been years since I've seen mountains, and I don't think DH ever has. I don't know what the low growing flowers are, but they are adorable! Thanks for posting the views...it felt like the temperature dropped 10 degress just looking at the snowy mountain-tops :) Brenda |

| Breathtaking! Thanks so much for sharing. Amazing photography, too! |
|
| What they said! But I will add that these are just gorgeous photos beautifully composed and the lighting on the poppies would probably cure seasonal affective disorder. Do run those by us again this winter. |

| Beautiful, isn't it? Some of you may remember we stayed at the Chateau Lake Louise on our ski vacation in 2005. Unfortunately that was the year my back took a dive and after ending up in the emergency room in Banff, I spent the rest of the week on crutches and Percoset. It was so disappointing to have to sit and look at that lake along with what appeared to be some great walking trails and not be able to go off exploring. Maybe next time...in the meantime thanks for sharing these! Sue |

| Bug...the pictures are amazing! I'm so glad I finally had a chance to look in at them. Nature is just a wonder and you've captured it so well! The mountain views are just breathtaking! Love all the wildflowers. I remember when DH's dad lived in Colorado and I got there one spring just in time to see a field of Indian paintbrush...I was in awe! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Ei |
