Many Springs 2013
It was that time of year…time to check out the blooms. It was sad to see Val have to stay back. Little Ollie got sick at our meet-up spot and his Mom had to do the nurturing thing. I thought about Val a lot today.
So, it was just the four of us for a walk about and a picnic. It seems that the lack of water has impacted the lushness of the wild flowers this year. I don’t know if I’m right on that or not. We got our standard bridge photograph and the shot from the little floating deck. Oh! And this year, we met up with three Kananaskis volunteers who were passing out reminders of etiquette as it relates to bears. Just up the trail a bit…a little sampling of bear skat was in evidence. Had to get a photograph of that. I don’t think we EVER think of bears when we come to Many Springs! Always a first!
We missed you, Carla, Dar and Val! Next year!
