What a BUSH bath!
Ah have dis rastaman fren ..... who swear by washin he dreadlocks in de spring ...... and I'm thinking that that may be a rastaman ting ...... cuz he's not de only rastaman I know who does do dat ..... he say whenever he go tuh de spring ..... he does leave feelin renewed and revitalised ..... and ready fuh de day!
So dis morning now ..... when he jumbie meh ..... tuh go down in de Tucker Valley spring wit him ...... ah went ...... cuz honestly ..... after all dem yumaBADvibes yesterday ..... I mehself coulda do wit ah lil renewal too!
Now I didn't bathe in de spring eh ...... I bathed my senses ..... wit de bush ..... and oh what a bush bath it was ..... de place is just awesome ..... the sun was out ..... the air was clean ..... everything was rich green ...... and even the lil trek tuh de spring was fun!
However ..... de lil road tuh get tuh de spring is de worse ...... and de spring itself ..... well ..... it was kinda so-so ...... I mean ..... I just find ...... dat after hearing about dis spring fuh years ..... and den finally meeting it ...... it coulda be ah lil more dramatic ..... or if not dramatic ..... just ah lil MORE ..... and oh gorm ..... dat PVC pipe dat dey put on it tuh help de water flow .....ugh ...... de ting totally take away from de whole nature aesthetic!
Ah glad ah make de turn tho ..... cuz it really was a kinda calming experience ..... which btw didn't last too long ...... cuz the rains eventually came ..... and we had to leave .... oh .... but on the way out .... the rain was so heavy that we end up shelterin in an old bunker ..... wit ah setta lil chirren ..... yep ..... while we were running out ..... children were running in ..... and we all converged in de bunker .... looked like some kinda holiday camp or sumtin .....
Anyway ..... as I said ..... fren went tuh wet he hair ..... and I went tuh whet my senses! ..... look de scenes that did it .......
BAMBOO, BAMBOO AND MORE BAMBOO
Bear with me wit all these bamboo pics .... I just LOVE Bamboo!

I never went on the Covigne River Trail. I don't even know where the Covigne River Trail is but I like it. It's a shame though that people are leaving their good cutlery behind.

All the shots are great-I probably haven't been to Tucker Valley since I was a child. I especially like that photo of the bamboo stalks/reeds (whatever it name) - the 3rd photo, with the different colours and patterns. And yuh doh find the Covigne river sign artistically discoloured?
Reply to this
