Hiking

Warning: giant photo essay.


Step out of our front door, turn right, then left, then straight for a bit, then left again, right once more, straight and then just past the transformer station, left again, and you are right (left?) in the middle of some seriously righteous Canadian parkland.


Today we went for a really beautiful hike.


Very wild and groovy, untrammeled, undamaged, heavily scented with wildflowers, zillions of wild creatures zooming around, great stuff.





We hopped across these rocks... I make that sound easy, don't I...


Tried to catch this guy, and snapped his portrait after he outwitted us with his cunning crayfish mind. Next time we'll have a proper meeting beforehand to plan our strategy, and THEN he won't be so smug, no sir.




Lots of lovely, winding, creek side and cliff top trails.





Incredible numbers of Monarchs and butterflies in general. They were just lying around on flowers everywhere.



Ahhhh, we're going back every day. Maybe tomorrow we'll take some tents and tins of beans and just never leave. What a beautiful world.
