Carol, I took this candid image in August of this year. She was just a little girl looking out of a window a the top of Mt Whistler. We were all waiting to take the tram/gondola back down. If you look in this thread you can see the original photo. :))) Thanks for asking. I actually did look a bit like this little one as a kid. :D
