This is another beautiful place. I am astounded by the majesty of Canada. Thanks for writing about it.

Lana and I are talking about a trip to Yellowstone in the near future. I'm looking forward to getting out and doing some good hiking in nature.

I dig that reflection. Picture perfect.

gorgeous mirrored lake- so gorgeous I might forgive you for not posting 2 sentences : )

Barbara, thank you for your visit! The tubular root D'Ora is sniffing in the market is cassava, manioc, I found it out when I looked through all the pictures I made and found a sign saying cassava.
I have never tasted cassava or cooked it, but many people like it.

I could sure picture myself on the bank with a fishing pole.

Barbara Martin said...

Josh, it has the same effect on me. Alberta has many sunny days.

Debra, every nook and cranny in the Rockies has a hidden gem.

Charles, from Yellowstone it's a wee bit farther to Glacier.

Barbara Martin said...

David, you'd like being there too.

Clare, had a crisis at home with water dripping through the kitchen ceiling. Though you'll be able to read more than two sentences at BTAP this weekend.

Maria, thanks for the name. I will see what I can find out about it. D'Ora thought it smelled good, so maybe you should try cooking it to find out.

What a beautiful lake. I once got to spend a couple of days in the Canadian Rockies and the scenery is majestic. Hope your water leak isn't too bad.

It looks serene Barbara. I found a delightful quote that I added to my previous comment on Perce Rock a while back.Couldn't resist when I found it!

Bernard, the lake is very enticing.

Linda, the water leak was short lasting, thank goodness, but now my cold tap water tastes strange.

Pam, it has a nice appeal in sunshine.
