As Canada’s weather capital, St. John’s, NL is known as a bit of a mash-up champion. Last evening, we had one such combo of fog and wind! The wind was howling as the sun began to set. With a bit of patience ( and lots of shots), I got Cabot Tower on one of the few seconds it was visible between gusts. The rainbow fog was a bonus!!!This wonderful moment was made possible by adventurous mothers who support/supported their young humans to develop physical literacy skills like biking. What is this moment-two special humans in my life, separated by 6 decades, sharing inaugural laps on the pump track near Quidi Vidi!Me and my boombox…er…chainsaw. So enjoyed getting out on the trails of the @echopond_centre to assist in opening up the trails and the centre for another season of environmental education a.k.a. setting up young humans for a long life relationship with nature and the outdoors. My pleasure to lend a hand or two!This is one of my classrooms from yesterday! Not too shabby.Just couldn’t resist a paddle on our way home when we saw the pond was wind still.Be colourful! Marian took this shot of me on a hike earlier in the week and Google photos decided I needed to stand out in full-colour!Explore TA's Website

The Ixtaccihuatl Times
Climbing at extreme altitudes is somewhat indescribable. It is humbling, challenging, and according to one author, akin to hitting your head against the wall (they both feel good when you stop). As our trip leader JJ said the other day, … Continue reading
