Inunnguaq: rocks piled in the shape of human forms

Small mock inuksuit are built by travellers and displayed on the rocky edges beside Hwy 17 in Eastern Ontario, particularly west of North Bay. Those in the shape of human forms are ”inunnguaq”, historically built by the Inuit to help herd cariboo. I built one of my own too, but it’s not as easy as it looks!

While organizing new photo compilations for the Dancing With Trees website I rediscovered this photo of an awesome, large rock about 4H x 6W x 6D ft. on Victoria beach, Vancouver Island, BC…wish I could have brought it home for my garden!

Arbutus trees only grow in the Pacific Northwest, particularly on Salt Spring Island and in parts of China, nowhere else in the world.Fluted Swallowtail on Salt Spring Island, BC, CanadaI still haven’t posted photos taken on Vancouver Island during July, but here are some of them. Arbutus trees, first photo, only grow in the Pacific Northwest, particularly on Salt Spring Island, B.C. and in parts of China, nowhere else in the world. They are a popular carve-your-name-in-the-trunk tree because the bark heals into a soft clear scar. A few trees on the island have been abused like this. Still, they couldn’t take the beautiful away!

Groups of three and four Fluted Swallowtails spiraled in and out of the sunlight as I walked down the mountain road on Salt Spring Island. I tried very hard to photograph them dancing around like that – so pretty – but their flight pattern was too rapid and unpredictable. Got lots of blurs if you wanna see ‘em! Fortunately one settled on a fir tree.

Victoria Park, Vancouver Island, BC, CanadaFor the next two weeks I’ll be stopping to photograph every interesting tree between here and the Giant Redwoods then back. I’m so thrilled to go see them. My pal Chris says Pray for Peace, and that’s what I think of every time I see the fourth photo here.
