Trip to Alberta - Scenes from the Road

These pictures taken on our way back to BC are worth sharing.
What stories could these buildings tell?


One of the many Ukrainian Orthodox churches which add richness to the smallest of towns.

Coming over a hill - our first view of the Rocky Mountains



Spring is evident everywhere - Lilacs in bloom, fields turning green and these adorable foals.

The crisp, clear view in the early morning of a gorgeous day.

The magnificance of mountains and lakes.




In the town of Bruderheim; an unremarkable looking restaurant ;

A remarkable meal.

I always think there's nothing more magnificent and majestic than the Rockies, seen from the prairies! Beautiful pics!

Beautiful pictures Bev! What a lovely time of year to travel out there. We're hoping to head out there soon, when the guys get the field work finished. Dairymary

Awesome photos...I love road trips, and I'd love to do Sask. & Man. again one of these days. Most people are bored with the prairies, but not me. Kathy

Beautiful countryside!! I can't believe we lived in Manitoba for 2 years and didn't take a trip out to the mountains. Of course we were Bible College students and broke. So I guess that explains it. But, oh, what we missed! I'll keep that "unremarkable looking" restaurant in mind if we ever head out there on a road trip. We have a few of those in PEI. They tend to be the best!
