RON ... it really is a gorgeous country right across Canada, and the varieties of environments and scenery always amazes me. I only wish I could have taken more photos but my little digital only holds up to 16 or some such, until they have to be uploaded to the computer to make room for more. I couldn't afford the extra doo-dahs attachments to be able to save and take more without having to run to the cmputer every 16 pics. The camera itself, though a "cheap" one on sale, was expensive enough

The contrasts between the beautiful tawny flat fields and entering the foothills of Alberta, then the mountains and snow, the farther into BC you get, is quite a trip.

HANNO ... thank you I was impressed at how well the photos turned out in a moving shaking bus! The windows got pretty dirty once we got to the wet melted bits on the road

I wish you ALL could have seen the gorgeous subtle colours ... after the really tawny beautiful fields, getting into bits of snow and naked trees and trees poking through ... the colours were beautiful. Tans, ornages, whites and greys, blacks, oranges, browns, purples and burgundies etc adding the varieties of sky colours, blues, whites, grays, etc ... but the land, so subtle and many would think bland and blah ... but NO WAY! GORGEOUS! All I could think of was WATERCOLOURS paintings for the Alberta fields and highways scenes. And the mountains and snow covered trees! Wow. The snow mas MUCH heavier on them for the trip TO Calgary! My batteries were low and I couldn't take pics going

ALEX ... thanks about some of the dating of that truck/van. I'd thought about the 50's as well and wasn't sure if it was military type or not. I didn't like seeing it on those huge tires like some muscle car. Maybe someone put them on to go driving in the mountains or through snow.

Yes ... the visit was great! My daughter and I more content now after having our time together. It was quiet and good. Dinner was great, with lotsa stuffing for the turkey!! Its been too long since we've had some quality "just us" time and we were both ready for it

Ah Arnotts ... Tim Tams? Good daughter to send Daddy some Arnott's
