The Bananer and I went to Jackson Falls, a little waterfall off the Natchez Trace in Middle Tennessee. The water was low and the falls was just a trickle, but this is still one of my favorite spots.

That is some beautiful country you've got there for a walk.  Lucky Nanners.  

Are leashes required?  

I uploaded a shared album on my Facebook for those that want to see more pictures.

Headed there now.

It is very beautiful. It wasn't too hot today, which helped. In the winter the falls are a little more active.

Not really. But, like I said, there's a 900 foot descent to the river and there's no barrier. It's a pretty steep decline, and I'd just be kvetching the whole time if he wasn't. In some places, there is only a foot or so of space before the decline falls off. When we got to the falls, though, he was off leash.

Hell I'd use the leash too.

There's a stream where I walk my dog and she often goes in for a dip, but I can't help but give her a nudge here and there when she's close to the edge (about a 2 metre drop) and she gives me a dirty look. It's so funny.

That's just...I mean...


I hate you ._____.

Ha! Me too! I've always been a teensy bit jealous of him. Lol

It's pretty unreal up here in the great polite north. As soon as you cross the border everything becomes bigger and grander and all the water turns super blue, the people become really nice and the beer all becomes expensive. It's also kind of cold, even in the middle of the summer....people threatening to move to Canada every election, two words: Canadian Winter.

This was shot yesterday, in literally the middle of summer.

I can believe it.  I remember driving through Lassan NP one summer on roads where the snow and ice on either side of the road must have been twenty feet high.  Have you driven between Banff and Jasper yet?  Ages since I was there but there was a road stop with signs to show how far the glacier extended at various points in history.  I suspect you can't see it from there any more.

No, not yet. Although I'm staying in Canmore, which is right next to Banff. Maybe I'll go check it out just to see and take pictures and you can compare just to your memory of it. It's crazy to see all the glaciers up here, considering that most of the ones in the United States have disappeared. It's also been an insane weather year, according to the locals.

How is it weird up there? Everything is blooming/fruiting early this year in Berkeley. We've been harvesting loads of figs every day for at least a month. Often that doesn't happen until the end of August or into September in our foggy micro climate.

The weather has been totally bizarre, according to the locals. It's pretty much been a year without summer so far. Rain and thunderstorms pretty much every day, there was intense hail yesterday evening. There are so many berries out close to town that bears have become a major problem. Two people have been attacked by Grizzlies in Canmore in the last week (they were okay) and most of the mountain biking trails are closed. People here say that we are stuck a month or two behind in terms of what the weather should be like.

Went out to look at a few gardens yesterday as part of the Garden Conservancy open days in my area. This one garden was manicured a little tight for my liking but had fantastic museum grade sculpture, many of them bigger than this one. But I liked the humor in this one. I think it might have been called "Dog in Cat's Pajamas".
