“Floating over your rocky spine, the glaciers made you and now you’re mine”
♥

First weekend trip of the year: complete.  I have lived in western Canada for almost 3 (!) years now, and still had not been much further west than Moose Jaw. And I really wanted to see some mountains. David had a few days off,  so we took the opportunity to head west for the weekend. We spent a lot of time just driving around, as I happily snapped photos from the car. I was most excited to see Lake Louise. Experiencing it in the winter, and being able to walk across the lake and admire the ice sculptures, was amazing. I look forward to some day (hopefully!) returning during another season.

Being around the mountains reminded me so much of one of my favourite songs as a teenager – Your Rocky Spine by Great Lake Swimmers. I’m not sure I can really pinpoint why, aside from the imagery.  I’ve posted the song belong, for your auditory pleasure.

This was such a great trip, and I can’t wait for the next one.
