Description
This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,
Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic,
Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.
Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean
Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow [fr.Evangeline
A Tale of Acadie]

There is a regional park within the next city over - North Vancouver - just a few minutes drive away. How fortunate we are here to have forests within our urban spaces here: this is a marvelous place to walk in the wild, to breathe the fresh air, to clear the mind. This place is always a Refreshment for me.
