Another huge gap in postings and another back log. A few weeks ago we went to Jasper, Alberta and I didn't have my computer (a rare occurrence) and, as a result, didn't write here. And, once again, as soon as the habit of writing slipped it slipped and slipped.
At any rate, while we were in Jasper I remembered a favourite thing that I had forgotten all about: the brilliant turquoise colour of glacial lakes. Jasper was great but my two favourite lakes in this regard are the lake just before one climbs Black Tusk in BC and a lake in the Sierras where I had what was probably the best swim of my life. The water was clear as crystal and each time we jumped in it was like glass cracking and splintering, the light going off in all directions, and then the sudden quiet when one is underwater. I can still remember the shocking cold but also the beauty of it all.
