The palest shades of green

The early leaf time of year is my favourite. Trees do the most amazing Spring things, putting out foliage of intricate shapes and ethereal shades of green. In some pictures from my walk with Shadow this morning, you almost have to strain your eyes to see the palest shades...

On another note, tonight sees the graduation of the 2015 crop of wonderful Master Composter Recyclers! The MCR clan is amazing, made up of people who are all about reducing waste, turning organic material into compost, and trying to recycle everything else. The clan gets bigger all the time, with 34 joining the ranks just this year. I got to meet and congratulate them on Tuesday night after they wrote their exam, and to hear some of their plans to share their knowledge with Edmontonians. It was, as usual, a very inspiring evening, and I wish them all the best when it comes to reducing, reusing, recycling, and helping others to do the same. 

Go, MCRs, Go!
