Autumn Comes to the Rocky Mountains
We had a day off on Saturday so we decided to take a day trip into Banff. We’ve been admiring the mountains from our vantage point here in Calgary, and they now have snow on the top of them again, but this week the colours started turning on the trees. I thought it would be a beautiful weekend to go explore Banff!
I fell down some stairs a week so with my bum foot, we couldn’t do much in the way of exploring, but it was wonderful to get away for the day and just enjoy each other in total relaxation! We went to Bow Falls and then explored the Cascade Gardens at Canada Place. It was a perfect day, we love the mountain scenery!

One of the greatest joys for me in photography is capturing that perfect moment in time or memory forever. This was one of those times. Brian and I were laying down in a grassy field enjoying the warm fall sunshine, the kids were playing near us, jumping over a small rock wall and playing hide and seek. I had my camera and was watching the kids through my lens when they came runnning down the hill and over the rock wall. They were all laughing together, the sunshine brillantly back lit them and at the peak of their jump, I pressed the shutter. Perfection all comes together! That wonderful memory lives on, not only in all of our memories, but now, also in print so we can forever remember this moment in time!
