on the forestry trunk road...


{somewhere north of Nordegg, Blackstone/Chungo Creek Forest area}


{meadow, either Elk Creek or South Ram River, above the falls}


{bluebells, campsite at the Red Deer River}



{the Red Deer River, young & still in the mountains}


{Waiparous Creek valley}

Come gather yourself from the grass, the branch, the earth.
Walk here, sleep well, on the ground that is not yours, but is yourself.

-- Ursula K. LeGuin, 'Exhortation from the Second and Third Houses of the Earth', in Always Coming Home

(Always Coming Home is a profoundly beautiful book.)

It looks like Emily Carr took the first photo (with tall trees, lively clouds and layers of land). Marvelous.

Love,
