Take a Hike - 3

I've recently had the opportunity to take a couple of photo hikes through Chickakoo and on someone's suggestion, look for mushrooms and berries. It's funny how you never notice what is there until you look for it. I've hiked Chickakoo about a dozen times this season and rarely noticed anything beyond a few Bracket Fungi. but on these trips, fungi, berries, flowers, and lichen abounded!
Gives a bit of credence to "Stop and smell the roses."...

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

SPLASH!

Having been fished out of the proverbial pond, I was a bit surprised to find myself suddenly back in the water.

Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming... I'll get there eventually. For now, it is back to emails, wishes, and dreams.

SPLASH!

Come Walk with Me

Come and walk with me

What we'll see and where we'll go is something only fate can know.
The path may be steep and the obstacles plenty.
But I'd rather walk with you than one of the many.

Let's climb a cliff of amazing height, close our eyes and leap into the night. 
Like a star traveling the midnight sky.
We'll soar, we'll sail, we'll fly.
My hand in yours, we'll let destiny pick the course.

9/11

9/11

We all recognize the date and to each of us it means something different.

For me this is a day of remembrance for those who perished and for all that was lost as the unimaginable became reality. But it is also a day of celebration. Celebration of the strength, courage, community, and compassion of a nation. My nation.

I will never forget where I was on 9/11/2001. I will never forget how I spent that day or the eery quiet of the skies as all flights were grounded.

We came together as a country & community. Let's remember the feeling of love, support, & compassion and take that with us where ever we go in life.

Walking Edmonton

New hobby - Walking around Edmonton!!!

I don't know much about Edmonton but there sure are some great sights to see, especially when there is someone special to see them with.

Take a walk with me?

How can I even begin to describe the adventure that I have had today? I'm not sure that there are words enough in any language (or even in all languages combined) to paint an accurate picture of the amazing day that I am experiencing.

Some of my favorites will have to suffice: Joy, Excitement, Jubilation, Bliss, Ecstasy, Contentment, Sunshine, Butterflies, Dragyns, Smiles & Rainbows.
