Least Chipmunk sunshine meadows banff canada

Least Chipmunk (or maybe Yellow-pine Chipmunk?) in Sunshine Meadows

We didn’t see any of the big creatures in Canada this year like we saw in Alaska last year. No bears, moose, coyotes, foxes, wolverines, elk, or bighorn sheep. We did see a variety of rodents though.

Can you name the country with the highest GDP per capita?

luxembourg

Luxembourg

Probably also wins for the highest amount of capital grounds covered in trees.

Waterfall Wednesday

Lower South Falls (Silver Falls State Park, Oregon – August 2024)

This past Monday I found myself in Silver Falls State Park for the fourth time in my life. This was very different from the prior three trips as those were all in spring.

Pro tip: go in spring, not summer. The waterfalls have a lot more water to them in spring, the greens are greener, and the crowds are much smaller.
