3 Pears
Pears are one of my favorite fruits. I especially love making salads with the red pears - so beautiful and tasty too. Tonight one of these sweet things will be served with our dinner :-)

home again
We had a lovely trip to Banff. I can hardly believe we've been home one week already. Tackling the process of culling through what seems like a thousand photos has been a challenge. I've got many hours ahead of me deleting the "what was I thinking" photos; categorizing, editing...you get the idea.
We flew into Calgary and rented a car to drive to Banff. Banff is a small town. It's surrounded by glorious mountains, lakes, rivers - everywhere one turns there is something beautiful to see.
I don't know what kind of a tree this is - the berries are a glorious red and against a blue and white sky - oh my!

Up, Up and Away
We rode the Banff Gondola up Sulphur Mountain - walking up tons of stairways to Sanson Peak, the highest point on the mountain. The views were absolutely spectacular. We were blessed with relatively warm morning - in the 40s when we reached the top. By the time we got to the base again, it was closer to the high 50s.

Banff, Alberta, Canada
After a day of travel, we arrived a the international airport at Calgary. We rented a car and drove toBanff. The weather is glorious - cold, but clear skies and a light breeze.
We hiked the Tunnel Mountain Trail this morning. Lunch in town. Walked over the Bow River Bridge where Banff Avenue ends. Here are views from each side of the bridge.

Needless to say, we're having a great time.
