Hi Sabrina, Paddy, Chris and John!!! Kiki and Leif are LOVING the ROCKIES and we have had SO DARNED MUCH FUN with them. We toured Banff together yesteday from about 9:30 am till 9:00PM! We saw 2 foxes, (ON WAS HEATING A SQUIRREL WHOLE! UGH!) Giant Crows, A Bull Elk and then some Female Elk later. :) They saw BEARS from the Gondola ride in the Lake Louise area last week! WOW! So happy for them! It has been a BLAST! Thank you all. Having a great time here and really enjoying your comments! -Laura P.S. I will tell them for you guys! :)

Hi Valarie and Renata! Okay NOW you guys REALLY have me smiling. WOW! Valarie, I think you need to become a Canadian and live here too. I think part of your heart yearns for this type of beauty? Mine does, too. When we first moved here 20 years ago I missed the ocean so much where I was born and raised and lived...but realized PRETTY FAST that I had been given one BEAUTY for ANOTHER! Wonderful and an even trade off! I might even have the best end of the stick now! So glad you both love this vista! Thank you again so much! -Laura :)

Thank you Chris! :) I agree with you, and do you know what I like the best about this image? There is no sign of MAN. It's just wilderness and natural beauty. It's why people never come here once if they can afford to return. Banff has become a huge Honeymoon destination, especially in Hong Kong. The best photos in the world are to be taken here. Okay. I might be a bit bias. HA! Do you know BPer Courtenay Vanderbilt? She and her hubby were just here last month. We went shooting with them for a day. WOW! She even gets up at the crack of dawn to take her photos and she is just starting to post some of them. I hope you will go take a peak! Also Ron McEwan has dozens of images he has posted while he and his wife were here in July 2009. LUCKY ME getting to meet all of the BPers as they come through! :) -Laura :)
