I signed up for the new Bata Blogger. I wish I hadnt! It has caused all sorts of problems on my comments. Some people have had diffuculty leaving comments here. I have also had difficulty leaving comments on other sites.Blogger says they are aware and working on it. In the meantime, if you have trouble, just make your comment, then sign in under OTHER. If you have your comments set to accept only BLOGGER comments (like Gary of Garden Views), I wont be able to comment on your site until they sort this out. Sorry for any inconveinience.
And now, we continue with your regular scheduled post....
Nestled up in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia is Mount Robson Park. The parks namesake peak is the highest in the Canadian Rockies at 3954 metres.
Our son Davids' 6'5" frame is dwarved by Mount Robson. This was taken in the second week of August on our way home from visiting our niece, Kayla.The enormity of this mountain can't be captured in a photo. When you stand looking up at it, the view is absolutely breathtaking. Even David thought so, and not much impresses him.
"On every side the snowy heads of mighty hills crowded round, whilst, immediately behind us, a giant among giants, and immeasurably supreme, rose Robson's Peak" ( Milton and Cheadle, 1865) Lord Milton and Cheadle published jointly several accounts of their journey, but The North-West Passage by Land was the most successful.
The striations of different layers of rock, visible to the naked eye, show the passage of time. Each horizontal strip of sediment indicating its own specific time in evolution. Every time you touch a rock, do you think about how many millions of years old it is? Here, Heidi and Andrew seem to be contemplating that very thing!!!
This picture was taken just last week, also at mount Robson. This is Keith with his Sister in Law, Angela and her children. They took this on their way home from visiting Kayla. They were lucky enough to get there on a day free of any clouds, so got an awsome view of the Mountain
It seems that we are always just passing through. One day I would love to have time to explore this area a bit more leisurely. Who knows, maybe next year!
Thanks for joining us.

Wow, the mountains are gorgeous! I'm thinking I may need to come up one day!
Still keeping sweet Kayla in my prayers.
Beautiful area! Tempts me to pack my bags, Susan!
You have a great looking family. :)
I also signed up for the new Beta and since I did, I haven't been able to figure out how to change my template without losing everything. And they call it progress...lol.
Mount Robson is quite impressive to see, as are all the Rocky Mountains around Jasper and Banff. Your pics are great and glad the kids enjoyed the view.
Hope your week is going well. Take care.
P.S. I had a biopsy done and it determined it was lupus.
Our area of the planet is indeed beautiful & your photos show that well. Maybe you need an RV to get up near the mountain & explore the area?
Awesome pictures,
thanks for sharing these!
take care!
Great photos. I think it's wonderful that at such a tumultuous time, with all the concerns about Kayla's condition, you and your family were able to find serenity in God's artistry on the way home. Continued prayers for Kayla.

Thanks for the tip about the blogpost site. i was tempted to switch to beta version but i was afraid to lose any of my templets and posts so i decided to keep posting on the old blogspot..i hope you get your comments back and you get to comment on others blogs too soon.
I live on the wrong side of the country.
Beautiful pictures.
As for commenting with the new beta I have found that if you choose other then add your name and URL it works. :)
i really have to get my camera outside, get some pix of our neck of the woods. your side of the country is so beautiful.
i have a blogger beta too. (big surprise, eh?) i like it pretty well. now that i have my google account set up like i want. so here is 40spoet.wordpress.com posting as hideawaypoet.blogspot.com. one in the same. happy thursday, susan. and i am glad to hear that kayla is doing so well. she is such an inspirational young lady. i wish her nothing but good results from here on out. send my best to her, please. poet.
You definitely need to take the time to stop,explore and dip your toes! Beautiful!
We do live in a beautiful province, don't we Susan. I never get tired of the fact that I can look through my mom and dad's kitchen window and see mountains, so close you can see the individuall trees on them on a clear day.
