Proud of HKR 2545/3220 student performance yesterday. 3 degrees, wind to 60 km/h, & rain. We were out practicing their outdoor living & leadership skills & from the smiles-rocking it! Warm, dry, & comfortable in foul weather-that's adventurous learning at its finest! @memorialuniversity @memorialustudentsWe were driving home from teaching outside, looking forward to a hot dinner, and looked over at Long Pond. It was like glass and we both said, “Let’s go paddling.” The pond was three feet higher than yesterday and we shared its glassy surface with muskrats, ducks, and ducklings. A truly peaceful end to a lovely albeit cold and rainy day out. The sun may have even peaked out for a minute or two.When a big view makes you feel small on the outside and big on the inside.The barachois in Freshwater Bay always captures my attention (and provides an invite to pause and look) while on a hike on the @eastcoasttrail #hikenlFor camera club tonight, I needed to find some images to submit...knowing that summits are happening on Everest right now-I dropped back 13 years and found some pics from that expedition to share. Interesting to revisit and see what the ability to process the images can do and bring forth some images I haven't shared much before (note-the first one is one I use sometimes in presentations but the others are newly shared. Enjoy and to the summit and safe return for all seekers of and workers in support of high places.Visited my favourite brook tonight on a scouting hike and made a deposit into my “blue mind” account-water is a powerful energy for the mind and soul.TA’s Facebook Page

Lungta Livyers #14 Tigers, Lions, Garudas, and Dragons Oh My: First Day in Bhutan
“But wait,” you doth protest. “Where is update number 13?” It’s in the same place as aisle 13 on the Druk Airlines plane we flew in on yesterday, left out for superstitious reasons/aiming for good luck. Our guide, Namgay Tenzin, … Continue reading

Lungta Livyers #12 Hairpin Turns and No Guard Rails
One of the last things Marian and I did in Ladakh was a two day tour to the Nubra Valley. This required a five hour drive up and over the Khardung La, the highest motorable all weather road in the … Continue reading
Lungta Livers #11 Good Bye to the Summer of Hands
The autumnal equinox signalled not only the beginning of autumn but the end of the summer of hands. My right hand is now seven weeks post surgery and the left, 16. I’m beginning to be able to bear full weight … Continue reading
Lungta Livyers #10 Road Trip
Today’s road was a marvel of human engineering and labour. Wow. We drove over two passes, through two gorges, and much of the time it felt like what I imagine driving through the Grand Canyon would feel like. The scenery … Continue reading
Lungta Livyers # 9 Dharma, Dharma Everywhere
Jule from Ladakh, We arrived yesterday and spent much of the day breathing, sipping water, and walking very slowly as the flight to 3300 metres is a big jump for acclimatization. We are both doing okay with only wee headaches … Continue reading
Lungta Livyers #8: Four for Four
Later today we will be in our fourth country in four days. That might be a record for us and we knew this week was filled with transitory travel. We tried out a new hotel in KTM called the Hotel … Continue reading
Lungta Livyers #7: Get Off the Bus and Into Comfy Jammies
We’ve slept in three countries in three nights and being here in Kathmandu feels like putting on your favourite, most comfortable pyjamas. That comfort comes after many buses and planes that transported us between Ulaanbaatar and Kathmandu via Beijing and … Continue reading
