Day 9 ~ Wonderful day

Well today was wonderful...we had a great day :) Chris and I had a very deep conversation about the costs of being up here and we decided because we never ever do anything and watch our pennies all the time that we would do one awesome thing while we are here. We will be going onto the Gondola tomorrow and experiencing the Peak 2 Peak Alpine Experience. So tomorrow all my BLOGG FRIENDS there will be Panorama views from the top of Whistler!!! I'm so excited I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight...LOL and I'm very excited for all of you as well. So I posted some nice bug, bird and one deer shot for you.

The mountains are a great environment to capture these wonderful bugs....grasshoppers!! I was caught straddling a rock in my long jean skirt.....did I blush when a man made a comment about it..yep I sure did. He said it wasn't everyday that you come across a woman straddling a rock to get a picture of a bug...he said this memory will be forever burned into his mind... LOL







This little song Sparrow was caught with a bad hair day after it's bath. It was too cool to watch it have it's bath and then hop onto a Skunk Cabbage leaf to dry off. Mind you half way through drying it's self it was starting to pant...It was 38 degrees today.



This shot was captured from within the van thus the quality isn't so good...on our way to Lilloett. First deer I've seen since I've been here...nice.

    Beautiful pictures today. I'm pleased you decided to experience the gondola ride. It will give you lasting special memories of your visit. Looking forward to reading about it.

    Had to laugh about you photographing the grasshopper. I sometimes wonder what people think when I am waving the camera about madly trying to photograph a bird in flight.

    Crista , glad you are going and doing that, You don't get the chance very often, besides your creating memories, pinch pennies when you get home. Loved the deer shot. Back tomorrow.
