Last to first:Steve, it doesn't get better that Canadian Air. I live at over 4,000 ft. as well, so the air is THIN!...Hey- maybe that answers for a lot! HA! (Lightheartedness and all ... OH WAIT THAT IS LIGHT -HEAD-EDNESS!!! NEVER MIND!!!)
I enjoy using trees to frame my shots when I can. Glad you like it, too.

You really live in a great place Laura! I'd go out for shooting everyday if I lived in Alberta. I do smell the fresh air of the high mountain. You've captured the beautiful sunlight with vivid colors. Well done!! #8151702Karen Kessler November 22, 2009

Thank you Frog Lady, Alex, Kalena, and Theresa!!!I agree with you Alex. A person can shoot ANY DAY, ANY TIME OF YEAR here and get amazing shots. It's a great place for a beginner too because even THEY can get great shots here! :D
Can you imagine if we had a BP TOUR BUS and went all around what kid of photos we'd all bring home?
This particular spot is in the backwoods and I have never been here in the winter. The roads would be dangerous...
I'm so glad you all liked this one!
(I love framing with trees, Karen!) #8153629

Kenny Metro February 02, 2010
Maybe 3 bites.... #8350985Laura E. Swan February 02, 2010
"Dang, -son-"! (My brothers favorite saying to his buddies in the 70's!)What a mighty hunter you are!! Thank you for being such a good provider for us all. YUMMY! These are really tasty! WAY more than three bites NOW!
We will have to build a camp rotessery for that third one! WHOA! He's a big boy! Maybe we will stuff him with some rice, too!? Does that taste good? I just so happen to have some in the family 5th wheel!
So this Canadian Lake seems to really have some great fishing!!!
Just dont drag any deer heads in into camp, okay little Bro? I might get sick! (Fair warning!)
