E. LIZARD BREATH TRAVELS

This ram was on the road when we were traveling around Lake Louise on our Canada trip in August 2014. He/ She was almost camouflage against the rocks. You could have hit the poor thing unless your eye sight is working well. Have a great day!! Beth ( :

If you have not noticed I am madly in love with Canada. Let's discuss Beth's loves in life ---here goes ... Virginia is my heart, West Virginia is my lungs it keeps me breathing 'cause it is oh so close to my real home, Montana & Wyoming I have a madly silly love for ever since I 1st traveled there with my parents in the early 90's & finally ...

BIG TIME!!!
I really feel I had no clue how beautiful Canada is. When chatting with folks you will find that folks either really love or hate Canada.

if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall". 
so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get to cooking. coffee was a real tr…
