Freshly fallen snow ...

Just an advertisement

Just a simple advertisement, but aren't the hands amazing?

Oysters

I've never had an oyster until this plate arrived to our table at the SaltLik.

Sadly they had all disappeared by the time I was hungry for a second.

The SaltLik gang, before the tasty oysters had arrived .... and been devoured.

Lake Louise in Alberta

Can you see the glacier creeping in under the clouds over the frozen Lake Louise, in Alberta province of Canada?


Here is another view of the lake, or rather of a stream feeding into the lake.

But this is my favorite view -- capturing another photographer enjoying the same view.

I promise, I did not just follow Mary around taking the same photos she took.


See, here's Annette at the same bridge, snapping the boys with the familiar view of Lake Louise and the glacier.

Going after the best shot

What is it that Sue-Ellen has spied?




Mary is following her. Could it be they both see something special?



Maybe it is this bridge over a frozen stream?


I see the moon and the moon sees me ... but my friends see something entirely different. Whatever it is -- I am sure this will be the Best Photograph they took on this cold day in Alberta, Canada.

Why else would anyone kneel in that cold snow?

Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada

A pleasant stroll, leading to the Chateau at Lake Louise, in the Alberta province of Canada.

A chilly pose with friends and family -- Smile, everyone!

My first snowball in Banff, Canada just steps outside our hotel.
