The Touch Of The Human Hand

The human hand and what we can do with it and the decisions we make. I'm guilty as charged in this area I'm afraid as much as I should admire animals in their natural habitat with my camera there's a part of me that wants to interact with the animals as well. For example I feed the birds in my yard; most of these birds are no longer afraid of me and come to see what I'm up to in the yard when I'm out. Deep down it delights me, but what if I were to move away? What would happen to all the birds? Especially the birds that every winter and summer who migrate here know where my house is; what hard ships would I impose on them if the food was gone? I always worry about these things, because it would never be my intention to hurt any wild animal. Why am I bringing this up???? It just came to me while I was watching this squirrel in the park being fed by a woman. She was laying in the ground with her body stretched out as far as she could to coax the squirrel to come and eat sunflower seeds out of her hand. The squirrel as you can see here was delighted to be getting some food for which it didn't have to forage for. So having animals rely on our human hand to give them hand outs is it wise? Not sure what the answer is; there are always pros's and Con's to both sides of the coin. What do you think???

Day 12 ~ Peak to Peak Final Views!!

Hello everyone...well this post is massive and the last post of the Peak to Peak series!!! Wow lots of pictures eh? Sorry about that, but it was hard to edit some of the pictures..if I had deleted what I had wanted you wouldn't have gotten the full story or picture of what I was describing to you. So down below are your fast facts about the Gondola and how large it is. So this particular ride takes you from Whistler to Black Comb or vis versa. Really an incredible feet of engineering isn't it.

Below I have some lovely pictures of horses that you can ride and explore the Alpine trails on Black Comb...but I'm not a horse rider, but I truly admire their beauty..Horses are exceptional animals and have been there for humans throughout history...just love their nature.

Now below from this marker on are the images I captured from Black Comb...sorry there are no panorama views I wish there was, but the smoke here is just too thick to get good images of the mountain range. So what I have is unfortunately all I have. Maybe next year will be better for picture taking, if we manage to get up here again.

This completes the trip from Peak to Peak I sure hope all of you have enjoyed it as much as I did. I wish all of you were here with your camera's, it would have been really neat to see what you would have captured while you were here.
