Labour Day Monday....

This morning, (or should I say afternoon--it was one o'clock) Mary called me and asked me if I'd like to join her berry picking. I said sure, but I needed some time to get myself going... ie) eat breakfast...and ummm well get out of bed!?.... I suggested that we meet in half an hour?


Off we went half an hour later-- the snow we got yesterday has just coated the mountains. I have forgotten how pretty the snow is when it just sits on the tops of the mountains!! Here's Mt. Duval--and the tundra is all of colour!

mmmm blue berries!!!...sometimes I couldn't see them, so I moved my position or sat down.. and then there were TONS of them all over!!

...the bottom of my bucket FINALLY was full! Mary picked hers into zip lock baggies...but I brought this 2L ice cream tub...(knowing I wouldn't FILL it!)

Mary getting her fair share of berries....(she her style of picking was a lot of staying on your feet and bending over...to get the berries...)

I was all about kneeling...and getting my pants soaking wet from the tundra...(but by the end... we both were LYING down on our tummies picking away....!)

Can you spot the berries?! there are some in the foreground!?

Ahhhh the Pang Pass... I'll never ever get tired of this view!

It seems every time I do a self portrait without my sunnies on... i get the SQUINTY eye look...no i wasn't worried, or mad or sad.... I just well squint bc it was sunny!

On our way back, I was walking along minding my own business... and well being the clumsy person I am... the lid came OFF my tub (i had it about 3/4 of the way full)...and well 1/2 of my berries ended up on the ground again!!! Mary and I had to 're pick' them all... and we both said it was the "best" berry patch we had seen all day!!! Thanks Mary for helping me repick my berries... I have put them into the freezer and cant' wait to bake with them!!! :)
