hours of walks

like a pocket of Switzerland
tucked inside British Columbia

wildflowers
blues
red paint brush
yellows
and who knew daisies came in mauve?

sitting in a meadow
watching mountain goats

2006 Aug 4 196as they ate and wandered
right alongside us

dipping in a glacial lake
fireworks of fish
jumping
leaping
splashing
(of course they're splashing - fish do that!)

Smokey the Bear
marmots
deer
a buck or two
grouse and grouselings
startled in the woods
chipmunks galore

campfires
wearing all our clothes to bed
and still
being cold
but lots of laughs 2006 Aug 4 034

and
can't wait
to go back
there

again
