Default Radium Hot Springs

Well, I've been taking it easy on detailing recently. With the purchase of the new house and making arrangement for the new garage, ordering toys for the garage to make it look the way I want it too look. This past weekend I thought it would be nice to take the family on a little get a way, so we headed to a place called Radium Hot Springs. I wasn't able to take as many pictures as I wanted but I got a few, hope you enjoy:

Well here is the view of the spot the wife picked out to have a nice picnic on:







There is Radium down there



Oh here is me "trying" to take pictures of a cricket, NOTE "trying":





Well worth a shot, I just need a better lens to be able to capture such insects better, well all in due time


















This was nice






Lexus is still looking good








At this point I had to change to my Sigma 10-20 with my B+W Polarizer














Boy the mountains are something else, they look great.










Um..Lexus still looking good




Yea, I know another picture of the Lexus







Well hope you enjoyed the pictures, just me trying to get the hang of taking pictures.

Needless to say a weekend with nature is great, relaxing and best of all spending time with the family. It was a great weekend, but now I need to give the Lexus a good detail, good thing I just got my Crystal Rock

That looks like some really beautiful scenery. I'm not trying to steal your line, but thanks for sharing the photos with everyone.

Yes, very gorgeous scenery. The best part was the hot springs but I wasn't able to take a picture as I was too busy splashing around with the family

Awesome pics. Love that Lexus. Is it a GX? I am planning on buying it next year for my wife. How many miles per gallon do you get in the city?

Yes sir, it's the GX. I don't mind the LX but I'd rather have the Landcruiser if I was going to spend that amount of coin and Landcruisers aren't available here in Canada.

This Lexus hardly ever comes out, only on weekends and only if we are heading out some where. Like this trip for example, so to be honest I wouldn't know what milage it gets in the city, it's a V8 so it just jugs the gas and doesn't even taste it hahahahaha doesn't bother me though. I really like the shape of the exterior and the interior is extremely impressive, that's what got me on this vehicle, the interior wood trim

Yeah, that interior is beautiful, it's exactly what got me. The exterior is also very nice, just one of the best looking SUV's out there.

I would have to agree, the interior and exterior on this Lexus is incredable. I went through the Merc SUV, BMW X5 and the Porche SUV and out of all of them I went with the Lexus. Mind you the vehicle I originally wanted was the Merc G500 wagon, just love that WWII look to the vehicle, wife didn't like plus we had a bad experience at the Merc dealership but I'm glad I got the GX, great vehicle and so smooth.

I've taken it to the golf course a few times now and boy does it ever turn heads...hahaha the best part is when I jump out of the driver side, people look at me funny hahahahahaha.
