Green leafy pathway
Summer seems to have finally arrived here in Calgary which means that it is perfect for getting out and exploring a little more. The days are super long with the sun setting at close to 10 pm, so there is always plenty of time in the day to go wandering. Unfortunately, living by myself places limits on where I can wander safely with no worry of bears. Last night, a friend came to visit, so I took advantage of safety in numbers to go for a wander in the Brown Lowery woods nearby the ranch. It was on these trails that I did my first trail run when I first arrived, in the snow, singing loudly while running to scare away the bears. As you can see, the trails are pretty narrow, so bears are unlikely to see you until the last minute, so it was nice to have some company on my stroll last night. The path was lined with much greenery with some plants sporting some beautiful flowers. The walk was cut short thanks to the presence of a huge mosquito population, but it is definitely an area that I will visit again in the near future ... if only the sun stays out!
