Going to Lake Louise
Posted by Ellie on Monday Jun 20, 2011 Under TravelsOn June 16 we went Lake Louise. When we got out of the RV it was raining. What a good time to go on a hike. It was cold, miserable, and annoying.
We walked and saw orange fish in the water. We saw one at first. We had to cross a bridge to get across. We walked along side the steam for a couple of minutes and then we reached Lake Louise.
Lake Louise was green and blue together and it made the brightest color you could imagine. We looked for fish in the lake but we had no luck. After that we took turns taking pictures of the parents.
There were steps so you could go and touch the water. It was not as cold as I thought it would be. We saw some ice on the lake. It was surrounded by mountains. We saw a glacier at the other end of the lake. We also saw a lodge. I wanted to go and get warm. We looked at the lake one more time and headed back.
We saw a ton of fish in the creek. One looked dead. We tried to get our pictures but it looked like just the stream. After that we went back and got in the warm RV.

Lake Louise is one of the prettiest places I have seen on this earth, other than my daughter’s happy faces. I was lucky to see it on a sunny day. You have been lucky to see many pretty places already.
I like how you took pictures of “the parent.” Not “our parents” or “the drivers,” but some manifest, objectified, entities. I hope you love them as much or more than they love you.
