If a tree falls in the forest.....you had better get out of the way.

Blog-o-Mania

As per the 'forests' theme that my life has moved towards and the wonderfully witty blog address, I thought I would share a few relevant photos that I have snapped over the last couple of years. But first, my friend Jeremy has requested that I write down something motivational, something that will help inspire him to reach new heights. So here it is;

"The path we travel is laden with peaks and valleys. The secret is to not dwell upon the depth of the canyon, nor the steepness of the ascent, but to reflect upon the view from the top, once we arrive."

Now a couple pics..........

This is the view from our bedroom window..........well maybe not quite. This is my first attempt at oil painting......Bob Ross 101. Currently working on another painting.


This is the view from the deck of a cabin that I stayed in at Nimpo Lake when I was involved in the forest fires in 2004.


This is what a water bomber looks like 150 ft over your head!!!!! It was awesome!


This is a front paw of a good size grizzly bear that was in the area while I was out working in the woods. The yellow field book is around 20cm long.


This was the scat just up the road from the paw prints.....those rulers are 15cm each! Anything that shits that big deserves respect.

All for now...take care and blog you later.

    I'm glad I helped inspire you! I'm so smart. I think your painting is really nice. Did you pull that from your head or from a picture or just create? Just wondering. There is nothing like seeing a huge pile of crap like that in the bush...just as nice not to come across the being it came from! JBean
