MY DREAMS NOW THEY ARE BEING CREATED UP ON REAL THINGS.....
Living the reality of this beautiful piece of paradise; May, June, & July have flown as I sat upon their wings catching all that is appealing and all that crosses my path throughout this lush summer.
I have so much to tell you...but sometimes I think I might just be doing a bit too much talking-
This time I'll let the photos speak the words for me.
Its been a while since I've posted so ill work through the memories backwards....starting with yesturday...

After much talk the past week I managed to spread word throughout the network and 12 fine people rounded up energy for a day adventure along a sacred mountain's journey to her summit.
Cascade Mountain, Bow Valley: 6th August
I captured this great beauty towering over town as I stepped out the door early in the morning
This is the back side where we hiked up and around to follow the ridgeline around to the front

the summit: grounding.
the view: dreamlike
An impressive 5 hour accent left our buddy with much to spare. Below- he is a bouncing energy hanging out, waiting for us, off the middle rock slab on the way down.
2 days a week are left un-worked
...and frequently devoted to hikes:
Mount Heart, Kananaskas: 1st August
This was a fairly short mountain hike...then around a horse shoe ridgeline filled a beautiful day with good friends/co-workers. The Kanaskas displayed much gorgeous scenery being in a different provincial park for a change.
Myself, Hillary, & Kara (Wildflour girls)
Mount Rundle, Bow Valley: 26th July
One of Banff's more challanging all-day hikes/sramble found only two from seven of our party reaching her top. Looking from the west end of the Rundle mountain range, the above photo taken was from the trans Canadaian highway.
Baldy Trail, Kananaskas Provincial park: 20th July
TakakaFalls 6th July
North of Lake Louise
Half-climbed with Luis Castello. Not failure due to weakness..but pure loss of route through the huge increase of water flow.
where the spray reaches around this rock-is where the route began to look undoubtly dodgy.
Castle Mountain 6th-7th July.
The amazing ceation of mother earth was approached by the same two explores...on the same day as Takafalls. Hiking/scrambling into the evening we spent the night at the plateau approx half way up.
Climbing into a misty morning of white cloud..many a pitch, some 5 hours later.....
my buddy fools me into thinking we've reached a false summit and I crawl over the last few rocks to find myself at the top of one of the most serene spaces I could ever have dreamed of.
Connection to rock. To nature.
Nature is the true found master of Nuture.

Lady McDonald, Canmore 29th June
Hike, Scramble, Climb all-day-mission ridge line
Luis guides me on my first outdoor climb....
Lovin it all from pitch # 1
The ridge I am climbing is the one on the right as you look at the moutnain the left picture
Road to Johnson Lake, Banff 26th of June
Another stunning evening appreciated untill the sunset. One of which is a typical example of the last two months..blues skies, hot temps, and early shifts; leave plenty of time for biking, swimming, and laxing with mates beside the the lakes.
