an explosion of green

this was 2 days ago, moose skull lake thawing.

this was yesterday, the leaves turning green en mass.

I have been away for 3 weeks and came home Wednesday, to summer land, Yukon! Where did i go for a holiday?  to Southern Canada, where it was still very much winter most of the time. 

I hitched a ride with Alexander back in April, driving down South. Only 10 km away from Taber (AB) we saw a shimmer of green. I never knew Canada was such a cold country ( you probably always knew that).  I did know that Canada is a beautiful country, even in the drabness of snow gone and spring not there yet.

Hopefully i will soon make an album here of all the wonders i've  seen.

And maybe a story of the pure joy of travelling with the greyhound.
