Mountains, Lakes and Rivers

My son decided I could look after myself and let me take a bus trip up into the wild unknown on my own. Took a day trip to Banff and a tour of the lakes and mountains.  The country is open, with wide expanses of  fields in front of the backdrop of magnificent snow capped mountains, green grassed fields capped by grey/black with white caps. It is difficult to describe the grandeur and beauty of it all. So I hope you enjoy the slide show and the videos. My first time with this fancy camera so the focus is not quite right. We saw a bear in a field, unfortunately we could not exit the bus so I had to shoot through the window, I had not taught myself how to video at this point so I missed a great opportunity
The little bird I "shot" decided that he would try and have a go at my sandwich on the rock in front of me. John cropped the photo's of the bear and the bird to give you close ups. See if you can spot the train tunnel in the side of the mountain in one of the shots
