"Grizzly's Mark, Jasper Bark"

During a walk around the area of Mt. Edith Cavell, one of my very favourite mountains in Jasper National Park, I discovered this old tree that was hanging out by a small glacier fed lake. It had twisted as it grew of the ages and its bark was seemingly scared diagonally making it look as if a giant grizzly bear, which aren't that uncommon in this specific area, had left its mark. The golden sap leaked out of its entrails and left this surreal contrast of colours shine out of its natural dark skin. Meanwhile, the presence of the vivid lime green moss strikes out like a bow on top of a present. It sure felt like gold to me!

Namaste :)
