Lake Louise, Alberta

One of the nicest things about living in Calgary (and there are many) is the close proximity to Banff, Lake Louise and the awesome Rocky Mountains. Sometimes planned, but mostly on a whim, Jerry and I will decide to take off for a trip to the mountains. In a little over an hour we'll find ourselves in some of the most beautiful places/spaces on the planet. On a recent trip we saw a variety of wildlife including deer and elk. We stopped and quietly took pictures without disturbing them as they munched on grasses a few feet away.
