SNOW IN AUGUST

Lorinda and I are in the little mountain village of Canmore, located at the edge of Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. We decided to spend the bulk of our summer vacation here in the Canadian Rockies, thinking that we'd do some hiking, boating, running and wildlife viewing.

We were sort of trapped.

Today, the sun's out and the snow's gone and the temperature is up to about 40 degrees. Yeah! Time to go for a run through the forest. Then maybe Lake Louise:
