More Photos-Glaciers

WARNING:
If you don't like other people's trip photos, then don't read this post.
LOL-
I want to show you some of the over 2000 photos I took-yes, a lot of them aren't anything much, but if I show you a few, that is ok. I promise you won't see all 2000.
Big ice bus that we rode up onto the glacier-this is up on the glacier. You can see people out there walking on the ice...
And here's the glacier we went up-that white streak on the back just left of center. I am standing a ways up at the visitors center, which is across the street. In this photo it looks rather small and like nothing, but in real life it is HUGE!
Here's a close up, with my finger over part of it unfortunately...
And here's me, getting back on the bus after slipped and sliding around the glacier for 20 minutes.
This glacier is as thick as the Eiffel Tower is tall!
That is tall!
So it is almost the end of July-can you believe it?
Summer, as usual, is flying right by.
Enjoy your day.

I'm Home

We got home last night from our fantastic vacation adventure. We did so many fantastic things-rode a 6 wheel drive vehicle up a glacier, looked at glaciers, hiked and walked a lot, saw tons of black bears, a mama wolf and her two pups, tons of big horn sheep, a few mountain goats and elk and deer galore. The scenery was beyond beautiful and we drove over 1700 miles.  We heard a glacier break off a piece-like thunder, and drove through some spectacular mountain scenery. I saw prairies and mountains and raging rivers.
It was fabulous-
and that's an understatement.
Anyhow... I tried to post in Canada but couldn't access my account.
Here's a few other photos. Some have been touched, some haven't.  More to come another time.
Top is Lake Maligne in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.
Totem in downtown Jasper.
Glacier on the Icefields Parkway, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada
Maligne Canyon, Jasper National Park.

Anyhow, back another day.
Thanks for visiting.
