spring is in the air, the sun is getting hotter each day, eagles are flying around the neighbourhood & the local paper has a half page ad warning us of the impending awakening of the local grizzly bear population
said bears will be ravenously hungry after 5 months asleep, well you would be wouldn't you?, and anything at all edible must be securely indoors by this weekend - i'm off tout suite to buy some bear spray on Saturday!
other local news is that the Canmore Olympians arrive back in town tomorrow night for a victory parade - should be a good night & I aim to post up here some pictures of the girls who brought us home gold & silver medals - & who knows - exclusive shots of a marauding gang of half-starved Grizzlies helping themselves to the complimentary BBQ & salads
well as i type this i can see the sun setting on the mountains opposite & i'm inspired to post up a song from Under The Skylon by the inutterably brilliant Candidate
the track is Mountain Snow & as you can see from the shot i just took above, there ain't much left in this part of the Bow Valley - if it stays this warm the Cross Country skiing will be over soon & mountain bikes will be every where...
the other track i'm adding today is by another folksey outfit, Espers & a traditional folk song called Black is the Colour - an altogether more sombre affair, strongly reminiscent of Fairport Convention in their heyday - i can't get enough of this band & this song
