~*...return of a dredi and the kananaskis...*~

normdate 12.5.7

my friend paula had just returned from a six month journey through south east asia. she was a dredi when she left...


i guess the heat of south east asia combined with long dreads was a bit too hot for her, because she returned with only two dreads left on her head.


paula's welcome home party was held at her twin sister's place. it was a reunion of old friends.




sarah was in town from toronto as well. funny how her and i switched cities...




we brought a little bit of meat with us to bbq...


what a perfekt sunny day for relaxing, hula hoopin, and chillaxin with good friends.


welcome home paula. i know you're an ani fan, so here's a little quote from her that i believe is very appropriate to welcome you home.

its good to be back home
oh how i missed this time zone
strangers are fascinating, their mysteries never end
but there's nothing like looking at your own history
in the faces of your friends.

normdate 13.5.7


i had a hikin date with captain q today in the beautiful kananaskis country of the rocky mountains. its amazing how the weather in this town can change so quickly. it was 15 degrees yesterday at puala's party, and today its snowing. as i always say, the weather isn't so bad when you're dressed for it.



even when its cold, the kananaskis are beautiful.


there were lots of fallen trees on our hike...


it was fascinating to see the bright orange rings of a freshly fallen tree.








not too often do i get to see the insides of a tree.




i decided to tune into the prana of the kananaskis and spin my own piece of wood.




i can only imagine the power necessary to break a tree.




pose like the sign


ok, my turn...


we didn't know what the name of this plant was, but becuase of its similarity to another plant we all know, so q decided to name it mariwannabe.


i love how there is so much natural beauty to explore within an hours drive from calgary. thanks for being such a great hiking buddy q. lookin' forward to exploring more of the rockies with you.
