Photos of the Day for July 2, 2009

Medicine Lake
Jasper, AB






Maligne Lake, Jasper, AB


This road trip has provided marvel after marvel for us. The last few days have been extra special. Coming up to Jasper National Park was worth the extra hours in driving! As you can see, we saw wildlife common to the area....right at the side of the road! We saw all of these animals in one day! To just see one is amazing! It should be noted that Jeff was the one to catch the shot of the cariboo as it's just one of those unspoken understandings between us---when there is a gigantic cariboo at the side of the road, you've got to get a shot, but it will be Jeff to hop out of the car and cross the road and stand near it, not me. :))) That's okay, we like it that way! :) He loved doing it and being so close. The cariboo didn't seem to mind. He was just munching away, although when he looked right into Jeff's eyes, his heart pounded a beat or two faster I am told. :) Anyways, words can't really express how we feel about the huge amount of accessible pristine glacial waters, wildlife, trees and snow capped mountains... Let's put it this way, we were singing, 'the hills are alive with the sound of music' as we skipped happily along the trail at Medicine Lake ... gotta love it!
