Canada in the fall is gorgeous with such a variety of landscapes. I started my recent trip on the east coast, in Prince Edward Island, travelled to British Columbia on the west coast, and ended my journey in Alberta, one of the prairie provinces. I want to share with you some of the fabulous scenery I encountered.

Taken as I was landing on PEI. The rich farmland is depicted with its famous red soil.
Even the beaches of PEI are red.
There are many wonderful rugged beaches on Prince Edward Island.

I was only in three of the ten provinces of Canada, but you can get an idea of the diversity in the landscape from one coast to another.

The second Monday in October is Canadian Thanksgiving, typically a time for family. Although I’m thankful every day, this is an opportunity to reflect on the many blessings that I have in my life. Since I just returned from a fabulous visit to Canada, I am especially thankful for my many friends and family. I thought I would share some recent family moments with you in honour of Thanksgiving.

You can click on the images to enlarge them.

Spending time with my daughter on her island in BC is always special.

Spending time in Alberta with my son and his amazing family is always fun!

Always great to see my brother in Calgary

And then there are the many cousins I was delighted to see, as well as a dear aunt and uncle

Yes, I am blessed with many cousins and these are just a few of them.

I am so happy and thankful to have a huge, loving and supportive family.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
