For all the urbanite who venture out into the #backcountry to "conquer" nature.

"_Urbanization_ is a term that is destined eventually to be deleted from our vocabulary, since no longer does it suggest a cultural polish, but more often the culturally incompetent, and physically, the grace and tactility of a cow on glare ice."

From the essay - The Wilderness Writer's Lot (page 106) of Back Country by Calvin Rutstrum

Life is more memorable, when you take a few wilderness footpaths, along the way.

@Snowshadow I used to take my vacations in the summer, and head to Europe — then I asked myself — “Self, why the f___ are you leaving Canada during the best weather of the whole year?”. Now I take my summer vacations in Canada, and I bugger off to the far off wilderness to enjoy what my home and native land has to offer.

We stayed at a cabin out in the woods between Nederland and Blackhawk in Colorado. This Downy? woodpecker is intimidating the hummingbirds while drinking their sugarwater.

I like the dog barking and the woodpecker tweaks/dances on the feeder. 🥰😂 Big thank you to my wife for the video.
