If you need a boost and want to remember why you are going through all the stresses of emigrating to Canada, then take a look at my latest pics.

We have just spent a glorious long weekend (for our 10th Wedding Anniversary) down in Kananaskis, then driving up the Icefields Parkway to Jasper. Heavenly Autumn Colours too.

Jaw-dropping. Particularly the last two.

You have just convinced me that I must buy a digital camera.

That alone is not a reason to move to Alberta though! The UK has some fabulous scenery.

Why thankyou Ki

We just Lurvvvvve the mountains, and every time we go in, it reminds us how lucky we are to be here and see these places whenever we want to.

Yes Britain has beautiful scenery, but you can't quite beat the Rockies for their awesome splendour. Blows me away each and every time.

You cannt see them from Sherwood Park can you? Perhaps that is the reason you are so thrilled by them. We see them daily so they just become the background. Nice to look at but doesnt really help you much as a new immigrant.

Beautiful photos, really beautiful. But you can't eat mountains.

Brilliant, thanks for that. I miss Autumn in Canada. You can almost smell the air and feel the chill in those photos.

That last one doesn't even look real.

I live in the Cotswolds and it is beautiful here but the Rockies are awesome in the truest sense of the word.

I can't wait to take my DH (a true Cotswolds boy) through Alberta and BC.

Not quite sure where that is. We are near Chipping Campden. I am really going to miss it.
