In My Backyard

We are lucky enough live about an hour from the Rocky Mountains in Canada.
And embarrassingly, we don’t get out there enough.
But a couple of weekends ago the hubs and I were able to get out and meet up with some friends from the Folk Fest.
I really wanted to take some pictures with my Nikon, but wouldn’t you know it, my battery died.
So I pulled out my iPhone and shot these with the Hipstamatic App 
(and in all honesty, I adore taking photos with my iPhone in case you haven’t noticed!)
I entered this shot in Project Alicia’s Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge for Brown…
An uprooted tree branch.  I love this shot I have to say!

How beautiful are these mountains!  Snow-capped and magical!

And it was COLD.  Cold cold cold.  This is a frozen lakeshore.
A very big reminder that winter is coming…soon.

Our majestic Rockies!

Frozen Sand.  So cool.
Thank you so much for stopping in!  I’m really happy to have you here.

    You are not helping. I am right in the middle of upgrading my phone and I can’t decide between the Iphone or the Android. Your pictures are incredible.
