Well the coastal planting season has come to a close. Tomorrow I will be heading to Kamloops to plant some more trees before the long 100 Mile House interior season begins. I feel fully capable now, of planting. The land I was in on the coast was at times unreal - full of slash that kept you 10 feet off the ground. I'd find myself doing some kind of circus act balancing on one log to another then contorting my body to slip down to the ground and plant a few trees.

I was staying at an off season resort near Campbell River for a month, and for ten days did a helicopter stint near Port Hardy. Here, we lived on a boat and a barge. Not glorious or luxurious, but an adventure nonetheless. I've completed much writing, reading and knitting. I've been sunburnt too many times, already. And I've fallen through logs, down logs, on logs, and under logs. I've smacked my face with my shovel blade. I've sang Bob Dylan at the top of my lungs. And overall I'd say it's safe to say I have really enjoyed the past couple months. I look forward to planting more trees, and enjoying more of the beautiful sunshine.

Here are a few pictures:

And that's that.
