We went Boondocking again for a few days at one of our favorite places on the James River, near Sundre, Alberta, Canada. We saw some of the wild horses of Alberta (WHOA) again, you can read more about them here.
“The Wild Horses of Alberta Society (WHOAS) was formed as a nonprofit society in 2002 after public outcry over the destruction of several wild horses that lived in the foothills and mountains of the Eastern slopes of Alberta. For the past 13 years WHOAS has been working on solutions for wild horse population management and has always felt that the Alberta wild horses require proper management and protection.”– Wild Horses of Alberta

I took along some sketching paper, pencils a sharpener and erasers.
I recently read a magazine article in a Somerset Studio Magazine by Quinn Mcdonald about Wabi Sabi, which has inspired me to take up drawing. "Wabi-sabi is a concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics constituting a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete." Wikipedia

I also made some more Hatpins and a monogram L (for Linda) from beads and wire. You can see some more of my Hatpins here.
I used wire, crimping beads, beads, round nose pliers, wire cutters and a crimping tool for the monogram.

Kris got wet.
We heard birds singing and a squirrel came right up to us.
Three dogs and two humans and he saw us, before we saw him.
On our last evening it started raining, fortunately we had put the tarps up. I dressed warmer and brought the wine closer to the fire.
We had enough firewood.

Eric enjoyed the camping trip and learnt a lot of new things, like swimming.

The next day the sun came out again and we said goodbye to the horses.
