Still dreaming of the Bow
Having returned from the Canadian Rockies I began poring over my pictures and noticed how much ‘the Bow’ permeated our trip with its beauty. We first met the Bow River where it flows through the Banff townsite. We followed it to the Falls nearby.… Continue Reading “Still dreaming of the Bow”
