When traveling, I like to take photos from the moving car-- "drive by shootings." This way I can remember the flavor of a place not just the special views.
I offer you a few from my recent trip to the Canadian Rockies in early September this year.
Oh, and by the way, just in case you were wondering, I'm NOT driving at the time!
along the Icefields Parkway
Oh the colors! Isn't the sky magnificent? See the Athabasca Glacier on the far right side in the middle.
mountains and sky--how glorious!
That's me, taking a photo.

Athabasca Glacier --my POST on my hike up to this glacier in 2012 with lots of photos
(just for fun--last year at almost the exact same date, we were on the letter V. HERE's my post from then. Sadly, the trees are not nearly as beautiful this year.)
Alphabe-Thursday, hosted by Ms Jenny, is so much fun! This week our letter is "V." Come visit others' submissions HERE and join in the fun!

a beautiful lake along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The water is a lovely turquoise to seafoam green even on this cloudy day. In early September most flowers have gone to seed and the greens are touched with gold.
a beautiful spot where my husband and I shared a picnic lunch on a previous visit. I love this small clump of aspens. Peeking through the trunks are mountains.

Bow Lake my post on another beautiful lake in the Canadian Rockies

Bow
Lake lies along the Bow River in the beautiful Canadian Rockies of
Banff National Park. Even on this cloudy day, the waters are gorgeous
turquoise (due to glacial flour). Crowfoot Glacier (seen above)
supplies water to the Bow River. (Glaciers in the Bow River Valley
supply a fraction of water to the river, snowmelt being the largest
contributor.)
a perfect spot for a picnic

PS: I accidentally deleted this post when I already had some comments! eerrrrrrgghhh! I searched and searched how to restore it. Nothing worked. I had a tab open with the post on it, so I copied and pasted.
I love comments and am sad to loose some, so here are the original ones:
