Over the Rainbow


Thurs./Fri. 20/21 June:  Over the Rainbow


 As L and I enjoyed a brief journey through a world of rainbows and waterfalls in Jasper National Park, the city of Calgary was being devastated by unbelievable floods.  Here are a few pictures from the sunny side of the rainbow.

Thanks so much. We were blessed with a beautiful day outside the radius of destruction to the south. The waterfalls were amazing - worth a special journey (via Highway 11!)
