It’s been so very busy lately that I haven’t had much time to update my blog. We received about a foot of new snow last night, so this morning Markus and I headed out to take some snow pictures. We found these Bison and thought they were beautiful wearing their snow coats…

While We Were Gone…
We had beautiful, sun-filled days with gorgeous sunsets while we were in SoCAL…
At home it dumped about 20 inches of snow, so we were welcomed home with this…
Shaking feels so good…
Water trough is almost buried…
Gone for the Week!
Seems like a good time leave town….

The Icefields Parkway In Banff & Jasper National Park
Earlier this fall my husband and I had the opportunity to stay in Jasper, Alberta in Jasper National Park. We had to be home in Kalispell, MT the next day. We had a whirlwind day with lots of stops, picture taking and rushing. Definitely not ideal but it was so neat to see the glacial icefields and various other sights along the way. Today I’ll share with you all the one stop at the Icefields, that my husband in particular was very excited to see…
The cool blue, turquoise glacial ice was beautiful…
Some rocks with glacial striations…
Rugged mountain peaks…
More glacial striations! It’s unimaginable the amount of pressure and force of the ice to make these marks on these rocks, let alone that they carved these valley out…
The icefield…
More turquoise glacial ice…
Picture opportunity… 
A tour bus going up the steep mountain side up to the glacier…
Glacial snow covered in pebbles that were carried in the l layers of snow that use to be above the snow/ice but have now melted. It’s quite a thing to think about the water flowing besides the ice and wonder when it was in liquid form last?
The beautiful scenery was breathtaking!

Montana At It’s Finest…
Last night we had pouring rain and 40 degrees, sometime in the night it changed to snow and wind. This morning it was brisk -30 degrees Fahrenheit! I don’t mind the cold or snow but sure get hard on critters when we have wet conditions and then gets really cold. I was happy to see every one fared the night alright and were anxiously awaiting breakfast this morning…

Even though he has a cozy little place to hide out in, Thor has to hang out with his guys…
