Holidays / Traditions

What is more Canadian than beavers with a sense of patriotism!   I am thinking they got some help with the flag but found this beaver lodge in the Whiteshell amusing.  My fireworks photos taken at an annual Canada Day event sponsored by Kevin Lamoureux, M.P. for Winnipeg North.

Enjoy!

Perhaps you will decide to visit Alberta this summer and if you do a great road to travel is Highway 11 – the David Thompson Highway. There are many sights and attractions along this route.  From Red Deer, this highway will take you to Rocky Mountain House, Nordegg and will end at the Saskatchewan Crossing  where it meets the Icefields Highway.  You can then go either direction to Banff and Lake Louise area or to Jasper.  The Columbia Icefields are found here also.  Today, a few photos from the Nordegg area along the David Thompson route.  The enormity and beauty of the Canadian Rockies cannot be put into words and the colours of the mountain lakes are spectacular. We stayed at Aurum Lodge, an eco-friendly lodge overlooking Abraham lake – very peaceful and relaxing location away from the high tourist zones.

To everyone who is visiting this site I want to wish you all the best for the holiday season.  We celebrate Christmas at my house but there are many of you who likely celebrate different holiday traditions at this or other times of  the year.  However you choose to celebrate the holidays I wish you Happy Holidays!  Today a few seasonal photos in the spirit of the season.
