Canadian Rocky Mountains


We live just an hour drive away from one of the world's most famous & beautiful mountain ranges: the Canadian Rocky Mountains.  Yes, we truly are blessed.

Last week, our family had a vacation to the Canadian Rocky Mountains.  It is a beautiful time of year and the autumn colours are stunning.

I wanted to share a few of my favourite places.

The sun & the angle of that the photo was taken = a very overexposed photo, especially since this photo was taken very quickly.
I played around in Photoshop to give it this "old" black & white look.

(We did not see any bears or moose on this vacation.
We did, however, see a fox, 2 coyotes & many white-tailed deer, but we didn't get photos of them.)
