My bag had to be at school this morning, along with my sleeping bag, so that the vans could be packed. We will be driving, in 4 vehicles - 3 large vans and a small bus - for three long days to Mexico. I have a little tote bag and my pillow to take tomorrow.
As part of the team of chaperones and drivers for this trip, I had to get my commercial driving licence. That meant a computer knowledge test (which I failed the first time because I didn't study enough about engines and torque and shifting), plus a driving test that included a vehicle inspection. That I did pass. Then, I needed a medical sign-off from my doctor assuring the licensing office that I was of sound mind and body. Also passed.
In a recent conversation with a friend, (actually, with more than one friend), she expressed both admiration and not a little horror that I would do such this - both go to Mexico and get my licence. To summarize what my friends said: "I've decided I'm too old to do things that are …
Absolutely breathtaking, went back and took another look! ~smile~Thank you for sharing, and for taking the time to visit me.

These are intensely beautiful. Really special shots! The perfect clarity makes them magical!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! And the quotes and scriptures really make them special! You need enlargements of ALL of these! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteI am getting a post ready for the party too! I agree that the Lake Louise photo is one that you should frame and hang on the wall! That is a beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous and all would make beautiful note cards.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are fabulous and I especially appreciate the sentiments you used. The one about sand in the shoe really struck home. I am glad that you will frame the second one of Lake Louise in the clearing mist. There's just something about that shade of green and that red canoe.
ReplyDeleteThese are all fabulous Lorrie, I can't even pick a favourite.

Such stunning photos, Lorrie! I think the recipients of such cards would definitely be looking for a frame!
ReplyDeletefabulous
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos of the mountains! They are so beautiful Lorrie!
ReplyDeleteThese are all just gorgeous photos. I really like the Lake Louise one too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely set of mountain shots, Lorrie . . . enjoyed seeing them again.
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful! I would surely miss mountains if they were not close.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mountains!

These are stunning, I can see the Lake louise photo looking fabulous enlarge and on the wall. It is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThose mountains are breath taking - absolutely stunning - amazing - there just aren't words. Fabulous photos. Each one is my favorite - I'd really love to see the tallest one - and the beehive and the lakes!! I agree - frame them all and hang them up.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are beautiful-- and I would love to see the beehive! But the Lake Louise one-absolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite season (from the last post)? Autumn--early autumn and I can hardly wait:)
Blessings,

Absolutely beautiful photos! Mountains are so majestic. I think my favorite picture is the one of Lake Louise. It is definitely one to frame!
ReplyDeleteYes, all four of them would make beautiful notecards. I would love receiving one. If I had to choose my favorite it would be the second one.
ReplyDeleteI've missed you Lorrie! With the baby and her mommy here for going on three weeks now I've been doing so much hugging, patty-caking, and laundry I haven't had time to visit any blogs. You've been busy too I see. Hasn't this been an amazing summer. September and October should be incredible also. Take care. Great cards. xo Carole
ReplyDeleteBreath taking pictures here! What a gorgeous collection this is--love mountain scenery. My favorite is Lake Louise morning mist too! You should definitely enlarge that one and hang it up where you can see it every day!
ReplyDeleteStunning! Lake Louise in the morning mist is just magical. Wonderful selections for Vee's party.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous pictures and great choices for note cards. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteI know I've said this before, but I will say it again: Your landscape and the images you capture from it are just majestic. I can't even imagine what it would be like to see it in person. I don't think I could keep my breath in.
ReplyDeleteThe quotes you shared to go with them are just as beautiful. My favorite is the second one.
These are perfect for note cards - AND for prints on your walls! Bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo and four are my favs. But Lake Louise in the mist is my VERY fav. Absolutely stunning! This would definitely make a fantastic set of notecards!
ReplyDeleteStunning photographs. Perfect quotes for them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Gorgeous! Every one of these photos is stunning, but the photo of Lake Louis...there are no words. I am glad to know that you will frame it. It is definitely frame-worthy. (Have you ever entered any photo contests? That one looks like a winner to me!)
ReplyDeleteThese are such lovely views, Lorrie! What beauty you experienced!
ReplyDeleteThese mountains are so beautiful & majestic! Perfect choices for the note card party!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,

Gorgeous photos, Lorrie! I think the Canadian Rockies are much more dramatic that the Rockies in Colorado as they seem to be more sharp and jagged on top. The Lake Louise photos is so peaceful and dreamy looking -- I can see why it's your favorite!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! That one of the mt. in the mist is incredible---almost surreal. I'd definitely have that hanging somewhere in my house!

ReplyDeleteAmazing photos Lorrie. And you and Tim are amazing to be hiking those trails. Did you see any bears along the way?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'd choose those notecards...for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat incredibly beautiful photographs! I think my favorite is Lake Louise, but they are all stunning!
ReplyDeleteThese would make gorgeous paintings, soooo beautiful. God's masterpieces, and you captured them beautifully. Bravo! xo
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous!!! But I absolutely LOVE the 2nd one with Lake Louise in the foreground. Can't wait to see it enlarged and hanging! Beautiful!!!!
