Weekend in Canada

As ordered by my eldest son, I am posting pictures and commentary from last weekend.

The snow was mostly gone, but the lakes were still frozen. The temperature was -5 C at night and +10 C during the day.

We went for a hike toward Lake Lauzon. Most of the creeks like these have little or no water in them in the summer. They are the result of melting snow at higher elevations, and are very cold.

Grady went for his first swim of the spring. The water was a little to cold for Sandy, and I forgot my swim suit.


The picture on the right was taken on a rock plateau near the top of a high rock ridge, approximately 400 meters above sea level. Nothing much grows up there except pine trees, juniper bushes, and moss. I will buy, at Keren's and Ben's wedding, the beverage of your choice for the Israeli person who first correctly identifies the origin of the trail of spherical boulders pictured here.



When we reached the summit it was time for lunch. Then, while Sandy and Grady continued to explore, looking for a better view of Lake Lauzon and beyond, I practiced my transcendental meditation and became one with nature.





That night we invited the neighbors over for dinner.

They said to say hi!

The guy with the fork is my friend, Dave. He's mostly harmless.
