Looking up from the loading dock I can remind myself that there are trails and paths and probably a geo cache or two ,I should be on - but as it is I must work to earn my living.







 on the way to work


But still as I look out over the river I want to be out kayaking - and this is only the beginning of my six month working season - I must change my mood and attitude... or else this is not going to be so pleasant summer season.

One good thing the camp is installing a fresh water pond for people to swim in - so on those real hot sticky humid days I can take a dip to get relief. 

extended coffee break

I went for a two hour coffee break this afternoon -off onto the mountain roads I drive.
I have two goals -- one is to take pictures and the other is to go geo caching..











Geo caching






 I did do work today --- really

in the stillness

I'm at work - I am working - but not like I am going to be soon. I have time to rest - I have time to wander - I have time to listen to the rain splatter like a thousand feet on the canvas tent top and to listen to the sounds of nature. 
I heard it - the deep - deep whoot of an owl so near the dinning lodge - I must go out and see if I can locate it. 

 

no luck -- however I sat down next to this old huge tree protected from the falling rain and just waited - sitting still hoping to get a sight of the owl... as I sat ever so still like a rock troll statue out of my eye a robin hops from spot to spot on the ground looking for a tasty snack. I make a slight motion - it flutters onto a fallen log and watches me for over five minutes as I watch it... During this time a little grey squirrel scurries about also not paying any attention to my prying eyes. 
I must do this again - so much life is missed in my business and rushed life 
but now I must return to the job at hand.. 

 Lunch = chili - soup - salad - baked potatoes
