What are you thankful for this week? I’m filled with awe, wonder, and gratitude at the beautiful planet God created for us to enjoy. Here’s just a bit more of Alberta from our vacation with the grandgirls this summer. The photo above was taken at Lundbreck Falls. The girls and I climbed down the trails to the river and waded in the cool water.
To carry on our dinosaur theme, we spent an entire day at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology. The girls had a great time — the big girls, especially — but I think if any of us had to pick, we enjoyed Dinosaur Provincial Park more! The dioramas were cool, though, and they took a lot of photos and did a lot of sketching. We have artists in our midst!

One evening at our campsite at Buffalo Lake, we went down to the beach to catch a pretty sunset and came across a photo shoot! I have no idea what the purpose of the shoot was, but I got a few snaps of my own. It was sure beautiful.

Valerie Comer is a USA Today bestselling author and a two-time Word Award winner who writes where food meets faith and fiction. She injects experience laced with humor into her green clean romances. Her life on a small farm in western Canada provides the seed for stories of contemporary inspirational romance. Like many of her characters, Valerie and her family grow much of their own food and are active in the local foods movement as well as their church. She only hopes her creations enjoy their happily-ever-afters as much as she does hers, shared with her husband, adult kids, and adorable granddaughters.
Good morning, Valerie. I hope you have a beautiful day!
Such lovely pictures! Thanks for sharing.
I always love your pictures Valerie, it’s so different from where I am. The wonderful variety of beauty God has created is incredible!
I like your pictures!! I’ve been to Epcot twice, and both times I had to go to the Canadian site to watch the film. It was the same film both times, though I went ten years apart! Still, the scenery they show is breathtaking!! God’s creation shows His creativity, and how vastly different each part of a country can be!
Thank you! You, too!
I’m glad you enjoyed them!
Thanks, Ruthie! God really did stretch his imagination with all the variety in creation!
Oh, fun! I haven’t seen their show. Canada (like the USA and some other countries) is large enough to have quite varied landscapes. It’s breathtaking.
Love the photos. the highway looks so straight with a few ups and a downs.
Yes! There’s not much in the way of straight roads in much of Alberta! Thanks for popping by. :)
Congratulations winners. Oh but you and your granddaughters look like you all had a fabulous time. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.
I’m glad you enjoyed the photos! Yes, we had a grand two-week adventure!
Thank you for sharing such fabulous pictures. Congratulations to the winners this week. God bless you all.
Blessings on your upcoming week as well, Debra!
What amazing photos. I’m so glad you have such a wonderful time with the girls. Do you ever sell any of your photos? The cover photo would make a fabulous wallpaper on the laptop. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the compliment! No, I don’t sell my photos. I don’t have fancy equipment or editing software. I shoot mostly on my phone to make memory books for my family, but I do appreciate the compliment!
