“I never get tired of the blue sky” Vincent Van Gogh - - Neither do we... how blue our blue skies are... here enjoyed over the Cape to Cape... 😍😍 - - Swipe to see more stunning skies!
Just a few beauties on the Cape to Cape from last year... hanging out to get down south! 😃🌻 1. Trigger plant Stylidium sp. 2. Yellow candles - Tripterococcus brunonis 3. Red Kangaroo Paw - Anigozanthos manglesii 4. Spider Orchid - Caladenia sp.
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.” Rumi - - I love wild camping, especially in this part of northwest Mongolia - it’s magic ... and I love my new tent... but it’s good to be home! Thanks for 📷 @armstrong.debra.d 😊🙏🏼
And that’s a wrap... majestic Tavan Bogd National Park, mystical Lake Baikal and the magnificent Kamchatka Peninsula (a tiny part of it). - - I’ve been wearing these boots for over 6 weeks... and have hiked a total of 21 days... lots of them with a full pack...my heart is full, my feet are tired ... time to head home some barefoot beach walking, good coffee and cuddles my pup. - - Thanks for pic @cj.adams_photography 😊🙏🏼
“Sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed.” Mary Oliver - - As I prepare to leave this wild and spectacular region, I’m thinking already of what’s coming, the strategy, how will I promote this hike for next year, I look through my pictures worried that I have not captured enough images to portray the beauty and wildness. - - There is a tension I feel while I hike now, a pull to capture, record, video, frame and compose with you in mind, yes you! You who might come along on an adventure with us some day... and a pull towards just standing in that blessed moment of being, without any need to photograph or record the view. - - ... I had a moment just sitting here, a moment when lost myself in the beauty and awe of nature and just being... - - Then, as I was called away by my walking companions to continue, you, as an afterthought, came back to my thoughts and I took out my iPhone and took this shot... now it will always be for us both. - - Magic Kamchatka full of moments of just standing feeling blessed.
Pudjak ... Bansia sessilis or parrot bush - abundant species in WA’s southwest captured here on the Cape to Cape track by Margaret River photographer @echoeimages - - 9 August (posting a day late - was out of WIFI) is the International Day of World’s Indigenous Peoples and this year there is a special focus on language. In acknowledgement and celebration of the Noongar land we love and thrive on, we have a short blog on some local plant species and their Noongar names and uses. Link in bio.
"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. " -- Kurt Vonnegut - - Need some encouragement, inspiration and time out to reconnect with nature & your creative aspirations? - - NEXT RETREAT: The Creativity Retreat Margaret River 26 - 29 Sept
‘Magic... a moment of awe and astonishment...’ David Blaine - - One of the most magical moments this trip was this red fox appearing on the lava field around Tolbachik Volcano.
“You wanna fly, you got to give up the thing that weighs you down. “ Toni Morrison - - Claire, one of the nine remarkable women who came on our Mongolia Walking and Creativity Expedition, is afraid of heights. She took the first picture here just before descending from the 3,300 metre pass down a very long, winding, super steep, uneven, narrow, sometimes slippery, sometimes snow-covered, path. It was a real fear that weighs her down. One step at a time, she made it down the mountain. Behind her the others followed, each braving their challenge and living in the full the edge of the adventure, careful step by careful step. - - This descent was a challenge for everyone, for some it was a huge fear... they ALL did it anyway!! Proud to have walked this spectacular wild place with these courageous women. Thank you! First 📷 @cj.adams_photography 🙏🏼😊
Spring is coming!! Come for a walk and experience the magic of our wildflowers.
“Your life is already artful, waiting, just waiting, for you to make it art.” Toni Morrison. - - In memory of this giant of writers...have been inspired and moved by every word, often to tears .... Jazz, Tar Baby, Beloved, Sula, The Bluest Eyes... if you have not read Toni Morrison...
As remote as remote can get... walking 7-8 hours a day in an environment that humans have not altered, where bears frolick in the distance and water melts slowly off the ice piles and runs off into streams, water you can drink straight from the stream.... an environment that lets me be just human, not smart or short or successful or pretty or this label or that label, or any other judgement... an environment that lets me be me, it demands that I survive: feed myself, keep myself warm, build my shelter, find my way... this kind of walking lets me listen to my crazy thoughts & recognise step after step that most of what I think about and worry about is just crap... thoughts that cause pain and anxiety that are based on nothing but fiction and ego... facing this as I take each step makes me feel free and grateful just to be... - In the Kamchatka wilderness... hiking through Klyuchevskoy National Park with these awesome folk. Swipe and see our stunning campground.
Climbing Tolbachik Volcano was like walking on clouds at times... we had all seasons, mist, ice, volcanic sand, waterfalls ... thanks to my new Russian friends for their great company, Russian candy and walking pole! Спасибо!!
Day two of our walk through the Tavan Bogd National Park. Magic walking weather. Spectacular views. Outstanding company! 💛
‘...follow the path that is no path. Follow your bliss.’ Joseph Campbell - - Loaded up with enough food and gas for 7 days hiking, the UNESCO listed Kamchatka wilderness offered plenty of ‘no paths’ that were paths, and a whole lot of bliss.
There are about 160 volcanoes in this UNESCO World Heritage site - 29 still active. We are about to go around Tolbachik Complex which is two volcanoes - a strata (pointy) one and a shield (flat) one. The last time it erupted was in 2012. This is going to be a 7 day hike with no real danger except bears 🐻 🐻 🐻 which, I hear, stay away from humans if you make enough noise. 😬 🤞🏼Noise, I can make!! 😉 - - This quaint town m, Kozyrevsk, is one of the entry points for hiking around the Klyuchevskaya region.
‘To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.’ Søren Kierkegaard - - We lost our footing more than once on this hike to 4,045 metres on Malchin Peak... But we will not forget that feeling ... that badass feeling of having boldly dared! - - When was the last time you boldly dared?
‘What is the heart? A flower opening.’ Rumi - - When I first walked through this spectacular corner of Western Australia’s southwest, I truly felt wonderment, witnessing these unique wildflowers, was witnessing my heart in awe.
“Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that’s the one that is going to require the most from you.” Caroline Myss - - On this day, just over a week ago, some of us gave our most to get up Malchin Peak; some of us gave our most to stay at base camp recover, relax & ‘miss out’. - - Know what you need and do that even when FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) kicks in... what did someone call it? JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out). - - Great day all round!
Walking with wildflowers, walking with whales, walking with wonderful people ... through the Fitzgerald Biosphere. Join us this September. 😃🌻You’ll love it!
