The Wonders of Nature

Every morning Randal & I go for a walk. We usually take the same path along the Bow River in Cochrane Alberta.


Randal takes his camera and captures  the changes in the plants, river and the sky.






I am over whelmed with the camera images.

Fernie Trip

Last weekend Randal and I joined Kerry, Lynne and the girls in Fernie, BC
 
We had a lovely drive through the foothills of Alberta. Met up with a triathlon along the way. The bikers had quite a challenge with the hills, curves and narrow roads.  So did we as the traffic was steady for the Saturday as we tried to  avoid them.

We spent the night in the Barbara Lynne Country Inn.

While there we took in some of the walking trails; toured the Alpine Ski Resort and watched the mountain bikers; Show and Shine Car show, a musical festival, and joined up with Lynne , Kaney, Lexi and Nikki for a Gelato  at the Bean Pod Chocolate.

Alaska Salmon

Randal and I have been in the Bow RiversEdge Campground, Cochrane, Alberta all summer. We are always  meeting wonderful people.

Lately there has been many Motor Homes arriving from summer trips to Alaska. The Americans like to spend their summers travelling North.

The other day were had Edwin and Ouida from Mississippi  parked next to our Open Range Travel Trailer.

They had gone out for the day and had left their yawnings out. During the afternoon a storm blow in bring strong winds, dust and rain.  The winds were play havoc with them. Randal went over to pull them back in to save anymore damage.

To show their appreciation Edwin gave us a piece of Alaska salmon they brought back with them.

It made a delicious meal.
