“Happiness comes from solving problems. The keyword here is ‘solving.’ If you’re avoiding your problems or feel like you don’t have any problems, then you’re going to make yourself miserable. If you feel like you have problems that you can’t solve, you will likewise make yourself miserable. The secret sauce is in the solving of the problems, not in not having problems in the first place.”~ Mark Manson

A young couple, contemplate going into the icy waters of Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.
When at Rodeo Beach, drop by the nearby Marine Mammal Center and support their efforts to nurse the cutest sea mammals back to health.
Or just walk up and down the beach and escape from your everyday.

Wilsis belongs to a series of portrait heads by Jaume Plensa, depicting young girls from around the world, with their eyes closed in a dreamlike state of contemplation. At over seven meters high, the work transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Wilsis is a fascinating exploration of perspective through the flattening of form, an idea that grew out of Plensa’s desire to understand what happens on the other side, on the reverse of things with which we are familiar, such as letters printed on a page, or a portrait head on a coin. From the front the head appears realistic, yet from the side it is an extremely flattened relief. Viewing the work at YSP represents a journey of discovery, first glimpsed in a beautiful setting across the lake, and revealed fully as you walk around the landscape to discover it more closely.

Wilbur rested above Lake Lillian as he considered the adventure ahead of us. From here, we went back down to the lake shore and traveled around the lake to the steep trail to the top of the ridge. The trail to the ridge is in the center of this image. After gaining the ridge, we traveled right on a goat trail across the ridge which disappears above Wilbur's head. I call it a goat trail because of the copious quantities of droppings and tufts of hair left on branches.

Kingfishers (Alcedo atthis) or Alcedinidae are a family of small to medium-sized, brightly colored birds in the order Coraciiformes. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The family contains 114 species and is divided into three subfamilies and 19 genera. All kingfishers have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails. Most species have bright plumage with only small differences between the sexes. Most species are tropical in distribution, and a slight majority are found only in forests. They consume a wide range of prey usually caught by swooping down from a perch. While kingfishers are usually thought to live near rivers and eat fish, many species live away from water and eat small invertebrates. Like other members of their order, they nest in cavities, usually tunnels dug into the natural or artificial banks in the ground. Some kingfishers nest in arboreal termite nests. A few species, principally insular forms, are threatened with extinction. In Britain, the word "kingfisher" normally refers to the common kingfisher.
