Day 045 & 046 - Emerald Lake & Shopping in Banff

Day 045 - Emerald Lake

After working on Friday on a gorgeous day, I was pretty excited at the weather forecast being hot and sunny for the weekend.  Here is the place Marc and I have been staying at Claude's house.  It's such a nice place, we have loved staying here:




Mother nature is changing colours...


We decided to go to Emerald Lake and make the most of the nice weather.  Technically Emerald Lake is in another state, just over the Alberta border in BC.  It is part of the Yoho National Park, only a 1 1/2 hour drive from Canmore.  You can walk all around the lake, so that's exactly what we did....





The start of our walk around the lake...







Marc got me to photograph two dragonflies linked together.  As I was taking photos and got too close they took off and flew away still linked together.










Had to pinch myself a few times ... we're in Canada baby!

Beautiful butterfly we found by the lake





Beautiful autumn leaves


Sun was setting so we made our way home.  Had a great day!


Day 046 - Shopping in Banff

Marc's first day at work is Monday so we needed to get him some work clothes.  Black plants and black fancy work shoes.  Luckily we found it all in Banff.  We came to the conclusion that we are very glad we are not living in Banff.  It is sooooo full of tourists everywhere and so busy, its nice to come back to Canmore at the end of the day.

Hope you enjoyed the photos..

Sammy ;-)
