Fall is falling in ethereal Alberta. The Larch Trees, are turning glorious gold. It snowed last night, dusting the mountains with powder. You can just see Jim here on the trail of gold!

We are in Alberta now, heading tomorrow into the mountains where wifi will be spotty. Will check in when the satellite enables, but until then, cheers to you from geraniums growing in the […]

Beautiful Maui, has beautiful critters. (Red Crested Cardinal) Did you know? (Spotted Dove) Birds are close relatives, (Myna Bird) to turtles? I certainly didn’t know, and neither does this baby myna! Turtles seem to know everything, (Green Sea Turtle) so this friendly guy, who swam right up to me, probably wouldn’t be surprised. Green Sea […]
