Myra Canyon Cruising

posted in: Canada, Fitness, Travel 2

 Peter and I got up early on this Father’s Day and headed up the Myra Canyon for a bike ride.
We saw this beautiful black bear on our way down from the canyon. Very fluffy and healthy looking–all this rain must have given her a good berry crop.
Next pick is me, biking through one of the train tunnels–I love taking photos in any situation, dark tunnel, cycling, camera in one hand. And the last pic is of Peter biking behind me. I just held the camera behind me and told him to bike in view on the lens–voila it worked.
The Myra Canyon smelled like heaven. The wind was warm and felt like the cleanest air on earth.
Tabs dance recital went well–she was adorable. It was a musical theatre number called “I don’t want to showoff anymore.”Will post pics soon. She insisted on roses after the performance. I gave her a potted mini rose plant so she can plant it in the garden.
We had a lovely picnic at the park in the forest–because vehicles are restricted, we always have the giant forest park to ourselves–out own backyard. It smelled heavenly too–vanilla poderosas, pine, wild sage and dill. Poor Fernando got pushed on the baby swing by his sisters and vomited afterward!

Monday: Tired at gym this morning–those typhoid meds tucker me out. Off to listen to Tabs choir this morning. Then I have 2 meeting at the Uni. Dropping Pip off at her Dad’s office while I attend the meetings. I finished my art e-portfolio. It’s OK. May post the paintings from it soon for your viewing pleasure ;). Tomorrow Tabs is attending the district track meet for long jump and I must attend Pip’s preschool end of year party.

    Wow, pretty good picture of the bear. Or is it Herman the Herminator temporarily escaped from his Nelson domicile…..
    Also, I imagine you guys would not have been so courageous if you met this wild animal in the tunnel!
