The Lake Louise Ski Resort, previously known as the Lake Louise Ski Area, is a ski resort in western Canada, located in Banff National Park near the village of Lake Louise, Alberta Canada.
It is located 57 km west of Banff which is also another ski area we go to.
It is a beautiful place during the summer too. I highly recommend a visit. We never get tired to take company or family there. We start in Calgary- Banff- Jasper to Edmonton and they fly out from Calgary again.
I have very wonderful husband and on Feb. 24th we celebrated his "29" birthday ha ha. My ONLY daughter blessed us with 5 awesome grand children.
Girl boy boy and twins.The twins which do not act or look like each other at all.
They are only a little over 3 years old but even that did not stop the first born to be one size bigger then his brother.
All have red hair except the second twin- God run out of color with him :) They are a great blessing to us and my daughter does a wonderful job raising them.
Another beauty from the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden in Las Vegas.
Each season, the enormously talented horticulturalists and designers who make up the Bellagio Conservatory team transform this 14,000-square-foot floral playground into a showcase of the distinctive sights and colors of spring, summer, fall and winter?along with a special display for Chinese New Year.
When the seasons turn and the displays rotate, 90 percent of the trees, flowers and plants in the conservatory are recycled, to further celebrate our commitment to the earth.
Mardi Gras also called Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday in English. It refers to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany (Three King's Day) and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday.
Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday", reflecting the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season.The first Parade as of a written record dates to 1699 in New Orleans.
Popular practices on Mardi Gras include wearing masks and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing, sports competitions, parades. This is a Float as we call it where people will trough you beads and trinkets as they pass by .
On our cruise we stopped in St. Kitts located in the east Caribbean and had the fortune to catch a carnival parade. It consisted of Pickup trucks decorated and carnival Queens and princesses sitting in the back of it. Bands playing music and street dancers.
Very impressive where these men women and kids on stilts dancing to music. It was a very colorful parade and lot's of happy faces. Thank you for all who buy my creations. Silvia
