I promised I'd show you photos of the Alberta Badlands today, forgetting I took very few of them myself because I was feeling more than somewhat shaky (not a good idea for photos). Therefore, I have to use some of Mara's along with one or two of my own. Thanks, Mara! You are a great traveling companion, and a fabulous driver!

Beautiful photos, Kay. I love the fall scenes and I've never seen the hoodoos myself. I see that your friend is enjoying her tour as well. You're a great tour guide.
What a fun girls getaway the three of you had! A part of Alberta we've never explored (and we haven't explored any of it in wayyyy too long!
Thanks to you and your friend for the pretty pictures. And to Lindy for being in them of course!
Beautiful pics Kay! It's a fun thing to go visiting with friends.Those on tour without cameras lose out. They would feel the regret the moment they get back. Nicely done!

Do you know what: I might actually return tomorrow for another taster of the Badlands! Or I might just go straight to the Dino Provincial Park. I am still debating with myself! You spoiled me!!!
Interesting place! The river looks wide and the water sculptures are fascinating!
Great post, looks like you have had a lot of fun. Don't like the look of that suspension bridge.
Nice pictures of your trip with Mara and Lindy seems to be a good travel companion too !
What a lovely visit and time together with your blogger friend, Mara. I love Lindy's posing at the post! Sweetest girl. Hope you're having a great weekend. (((Hugs))) Jo
that is so beautiful!!
Wow. I love the photos. And your reflections! Not many reflections around here, with the wetland pretty dried up.
Cheers from Cottage Country!
Oh, I'd love to visit the badlands of Alberta some day. Great shots!
i wouldn't have walked across that suspension bridge, either! i notice the leaves are already off the trees, there... did you get much fall color before they fell?
It looks like a lovely place...but I probably would have opted out of the suspension bridge too :o)
Now then Kay, your traveling destinations sound like my wish list of places I want to see. Are there many places left you would like to see? preferably somewhere I have been to LOL.
What beautiful pictures! Sorry, you weren't feeling well on that particular day. The "hoodoos" look like "wind-carved", abstract sculptures.
I knew about the hoodoos up in your neck of the woods when I researched hoodoos. In my head, I have a heavy association with them with the southwest landscape, so it does seem odd to have them as far north as Alberta.
You guys - with Lindy - really look like you were having a great time. But I'm sorry you were feeling shaky, my friend. Still, it is the warmth of good company and the beautiful sites that you will remember.
