Banff Gardens

I don't remember if that is the correct name, but it works for me.
I am in the process of taking care of these hundreds of pictures from my August travels.  Feeling like a slacker, but I guess it is more important to pay bills and educate my kids...and love on my husband, of course.  So in pieces will they come.

These gardens are set at the end of the Main St. in Banff.  Banff is so awesome - there is so much beauty crammed into that little town and the surrounding areas.  I love it!
The view down Main Street from the gardens.  What mountain is that again???  Maybe Norquay.  Whatever  it is, it's beautiful!
I don't know the story about the big house - I was too busy taking pictures to read the plaques.
Gotta get the Canadian flag flying proudly...
This last picture is one of those "why in the world??"  At least that's what John said.  "Now why are you taking a picture of that???"
Because I like it.

More to come...especially the Banff Springs Hotel...oh my goodness!  But I do have 567 photos of it alone at least, so don't hold your breath.

Such a pretty place. :^) We miss it. But then we do have other treasures (like The Pacific Ocean) to make up for it so I'll be okay. ;^P

We have some sweet friends from our days back in Dallas that are heading up to Banff soon. I told them to go to NCC if they are in Calgary on a Sunday.

Gorgeous as always Heather.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Certainly more colorful than Banff was in April! Glad you had that little get-away. Go ahead and put the pix on picasa...I'll be happy to scroll through 'em!
