Fox Lake
Pretty view to accompany our sandwiches After days of baking temperatures in Calgary, I welcomed the fresh breezes in Kananaskis as the perfect start to a day of carefree walking with Skrastin's Outdoor Club. Since dawdling over photography was anticipated, I agreed to be the sweep for our subgroup of about seven seekers of mild pleasures. The start of the walk to Fox Lake was stiffly up a discouraging incline, but the rest of the day was an undulating ramble through dappled woodlands.
The light smokey haze from forest fires in British Columbia shifted away from us by mid-day, when we sat on driftwood logs gazing at unimpeded views of the green lake. From the gigantic mountain backdrop to the tiny pale-cream paintbrush, my eyes absorbed the unrehearsed beauty of wild nature.

KANANASKIS OR TRAVELS ABROAD
This is not really a comment to be posted but rather a simple way to connect with you. I have been to some of your CPL presentations in the past and have been following your blog for quite some time. (I spoke with you in passing at the grand opening of Studio Bell on July 1, 2016. However, I certainly do not expect you to remember me from a thirty second conversation!) After church today, a few of us met to discuss our upcoming year of 55+ Luncheons. (We meet once per month, generally on the third Tuesday of the month, for lunch and a speaker. We have a small group who participate, of roughly two dozen people. The church is in the SW in Glenbrook.). We were brainstorming possible speakers and my mind immediately leapt to you when the topic of travel speakers came up. I knew you had amazing photos and experiences to share and that you were comfortable speaking in front of groups. What I do not know, however, is whether you would entertain doing something like this for such a small group in the community. I would appreciate knowing whether or not you would be willing to consider doing this sometime within the next few months. If not, that is just fine; I will continue to enjoy vicariously travelling the world with you through your blog. But if so, I can provide more details. I look forward to hearing from you.
