The Brown Paper Bag |
Most of the photos on this page were taken in Canada's Yoho National Park, one of four contiguous parks located in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. It's situated along the western slope of the Continental Divide in British Columbia. There are, also, a few images from neighboring Banff National Park. "Yoho" comes from a Cree word, meaning "to express amazement." Judging from the beautiful scenery displayed in these photos, it's not hard to imagine why the name Yoho was applied. |

When adults look at a patch of dandelions, they see weeds trying to take over their lawn. Children see flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff you can make a wish on. When adults feel the wind on their faces, they try not to let it mess up their hair. Children close their eyes, spread their arms and happily run to meet it. When adults approach a mud puddle, they see muddy shoes and dirty carpets. Children see water to splash in, dams to build and rivers to cross. I wonder...are we given children to teach or to learn from? I wish you, my friends, a lifetime of big mud puddles and sunny yellow dandelions. -- Author Unknown |
Only children really understand how to give; this is a talent which all too often eludes us in adulthood. -- Robert Daughtry |
Don't worry about your children never listening to you; worry that they are always watching you. -- Robert Fulghum |
Photo from National Geographic shows a couple - plus a friend - in Banff National Park. They set their camera's auto timer and sat down to pose, when a curious squirrel came to examine the camera just as it snapped the picture. I hope they got his address so they could send him a copy. :-) |
