We are heading to Banff for the day on Wednesday, Courtenay. We'll be thinking of you two while we are there. Sure was a fun day!

This is very beautiful and a refreshing new angle of the V. Lakes and Rockies. Most photographers get their images of Mt. Rundle from the highway. Tripods and all...but you got right on down to nature and got a BETTER shot!

The clouds sure look commanding and your foreground is super, too! Love all of it!!! I want to ride my horse around and stake my claim! Lol...

-Laura :)))
