So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage
or your strength, come no further,
for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.Suddenly the hourglass turned. The cool air and flat violet clouds have exploded south from Canada. The night grows cold quickly and leaves the world soggy and wet when the sun begins to sneak up in the east. The days are still warm but a cold draft seems to be swirling around every tree branch. I saw an yellow leaf today. It’s inevitable then?

Yesterday we went for a hike at Devil’s Lake State Park on one of the trails used almost exclusively by the locals & mountain bikers. The Stienke Basin trails wind through Maple and Oak forests and curve around small secluded ponds and boggy wetlands. As we go we can still pick the last of the wild raspberries that pepper the more sunlit corners along the path. The stream beds are dry, waiting again for melting snow to bring them to life. The bright orange mushrooms seemed to glow against the dark earth.

Last night while browsing around the web I cam across some videos from the MAATSUYKER Canoe Club in Tasmania. Yikes! Check out the ones called “Jamie’s Folly” & “Pirates Bay Trip”

Today I’m heading out with friends for another video session. We know the camera never lies, but we can hope it would be a bit more forgiving.
