Drumheller in May

I had the opportunity to accompany students to Red Deer, Alberta for the Festival of Bands.  On the way back, we stopped off at the Royal Tyrell Museum.  The aspens are still in their fresh lime green hue.  One of my favorite times of the year!

I always get a kick out of that sign!  Here is an aspen:

Robert Frost describes this time of year so perfectly:

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
