The sound of Borealiso



It rhymes with Calypso. Has that musical feel to it. But break it down and it becomes Boreal Is So...Beautiful.





Calypso, by the way, is also part of the latin name for the Fairy Slipper, elusive moss-loving boreal orchid that Sara and I stalked throughout the Isquasum spring trail this past June. Which slows the hike considerably. But a photo shoot had to be had.

Then, there is Calypso, a sea nymph in greek mythology, as well as calypso, a style of Caribbean folk music.

Music, nature and mythology. All this from research done at 2 in the morning in Sioux Lookout's Best Western.

  1. Lee and I found these gorgeous orchids deep down on a trail at the end of Rocky Lake East shore. They are incredible!

  2. lounging fairy level speed does slow a hike down for the legs, but not for the imagination or the senses! It was such a great day.
