Day trip and large chipmunks

Daughter L is in Calgary with her fiance for the next 8 months as he went back to school to further his career.  They already took a day trip to Banff, such a beautiful area.  It reminds me of Switzerland.  Funny I have been to Switzerland yet not to the Rockies in Canada where I live.  

Daughter L noticed the chipmunks up on the mountains are so large!  See the video below that she sent me.




This is a photo of the mountains as  they left Banff on their day trip back to Calgary. 



This is a friendly doodle L did on a scratch pad for me before she left Toronto:

Beautiful photos, the mountains look wonderful. I've never seen a chipmunk, so don't know the size! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie

That is sweet of her to leave you that doodle! Hope you are doing OK these days with her big move.

So lovely! Wonderful with fonts too! It seems to be usually that way not going to places near us. I was with a college boyfriend before I ever went to Enchanted Rock, back in Texas and I only lived about 25 miles away. It's a great place for many students to take a daytrip from Austin in the hill country.

I have always heard how beautiful Banff is. It's been on our bucket list for a long time. Thanks for sharing these photos and please thank your daughter also. Cute doodle she made. The chipmunk video, always a win with me :)

Blue sky, fresh air and mountain...what a wonderful trip!

Our chipmunks have all but disappeared here this summer. Don't know if it's a predator or something else. Teacher friends went to Banff several summers ago and I was astounded at the beauty there.

It looks like L may have gotten some of your artistic abilities.

That's a good daughter, informing you of her moves and sending you pictures and videos! Enjoy!

I have been to Vancouver and Toronto, but never Calgary. David's mother was born and raised in Calgary. She lived on a farm, but taught secretarial courses at a business school, where she met David's father.
