Beautiful early green is beginning to colour Stuart’s Forest of Dean. Be sure to stop by his site to see today’s second photo – it’s such a serene, calming photo. 🙂
Dene oral tradition refers to a deadly monster who would sometimes confront kayakers as they attempted to travel or hunt.
In earlier times, the idea of this fanged and tailed crocodile-like creature trying to grab a kayak and its occupant would have inspired a great deal of consternation!
Although it certainly still does, the weather is now defeating this monster snow carving. We are much warmer and the sun is shining, a very welcome change!
We still have a lot of snow on the lakes, but it, and the ice underneath it, will soon be gone.
Happy week! 🙂

A sunny path in the Forest of Dean.
Well, it’s a frozen water sign. Aquarius the water-carrier, to be exact, which is kind of perfect, because this frozen water is carrying cars and trucks.
I know that I’m really stretching this symbol, but I like the idea of the Aquarian water-carrier carrying ice for a safe crossing on an ice road.
This ice road crosses Great Slave Lake between Yellowknife and Dettah. In the summer, you have to go around, and that takes about 20 minutes more.
I hope we all soon experience some sunny and safe shortcuts. After all, most of us have had to do the long way around for the better part of a year.
Happy mid-week. 🙂
