It would have been remiss of me not to post something for Earth Day 2024. I got to thinking about which place in Earth I have visited that has a lot of natural beauty and is relatively unspoilt. A few places came to mind but one stood out - Canada. The Canadian wilderness is something special in my opinion. I just loved the snow-covered mountains as a backdrop to crystal clear rivers and fir-lined river banks, resided over by the most spectacular cloud-filled skies.
Happy Earth Day everyone !

The Metolius River (pronounced muh TOLL ee us) is a tributary of the Deschutes River (through Lake Billy Chinook) in Central Oregon, near the city of Sisters. The unincorporated community of Camp Sherman lies astride the southern end of the river. We were staying overnight in Camp Sherman at a great cabin. The name of the river comes from the Warm Springs or Sahaptin word mitula, meaning white salmon and referring to a light colored Chinook salmon. The Metolius River flows 28.6 miles (46.0 km) from Metolius Springs through the Deschutes National Forest, emptying into Lake Billy Chinook and ultimately the Deschutes River. We had a great view of Mt. Jefferson covered in snow.

One of the most beautiful sunsets we witnessed in Wadi Rum. The light was soft yet interesting. We found a lot of this plant called sea squill all over the rocky areas of the desert. Some flower stems were still attached, slowly moving in the evening wind.
