Mother's Day in the Bow Valley
Clive, Shona and I went walking in BowValley Provincial Park. Chris is up on the Freshfields Glacier in BC and we have no idea when he will show up. So we had breakfast at a local resturant and then headed to the wilderness to photograph signs of spring. And then come and each is to decide which is our best two photos and print them out. I thought if I put them on my blog I will be able to decide which two I like best. So here is Shona in the bush.
Mountain Reflections
Focused concentration.
Prarie Crocus with bug that I didn't even see until I got home! That tells you how bad my eyes are!
Brand new gooseberry leaves
Newly emerging pussy willows

Slip Sliding Away
Winter is slowly slip sliding away to spring. Ski season is almost finished. Shona's ski racing careerr has officially been retired - by her choice.
Time for different activities and new directions. Hiking season is back Clive is getting fit for an 8 week light weight walking trip across Ellesmere Island.
Shona has purchased a 1984 Westfalia voltswagon and after a short trip to Shark Mountain is determined to drive it to Alaska and then argentina.
After a week of house repairs in Revelstoke, Chris is up on the Freshfield back country sking and filming. He is coming here next week.
I am keeping the home fires burning and re-visioning my memoir! We are a family with big dreams.
A stunning spring morning at Lake Minnewanka.
This is Mount Inglismaldie nearly 10,000 feet.
What a handsome couple standing up on Aylmer Lookout.
We walked from away down at the end of the lake and guess what we have to walk back. Round trip 22 km. A pretty good get fit trip for Clive carrying about 30 pounds.
That's Mount Alymer in the background behind the windswept trees.
Looking north the lake is still frozen. And we are lucky to have all this in our backyard.
