My husband, Bruce, and I are on a bit of an unplanned journey through beautiful British Columbia and Alberta. On this Sunday morning in Banff, I’m sending off this photo of Wedge Pond and the Rocky Mountains, taken in Kananaskis Country.

If you’ve followed my blog for a while then you know that Bruce is the photographer of our creative, travelling team. He has done me the great honour of saying that this picture (which I took) is the prize-winner for yesterday. I guess I must be learning!

Self-published authors never rest – not even on unplanned holidays. So far, on the trip, I have gifted a copy of Disappearing in Plain Sight to John in New Denver as thanks for an insightful tour of his solar home. I sold a copy to Bruce and Mary, a knowledgeable couple from Calgary who were kind enough to give us all kinds of great tips for the next stage of our trip. We met them in a pull-out yesterday on the Kananaskis Trail. I also gave out one of my cards to a paramedic in Cranbrook. No – I wasn’t in need of medical help at the time – he shared a hot tub with us at the hotel.

Beautiful sights, great food, rest, relaxation, book sales and promotion – this is the life.
