I opened my copy of Beethoven's Eroica Variations this morning to find these ground squirrels' footprints - lovely memories from #BanffCentre, 17 years ago!

It’s my last day at #BanffCentre. What an amazing two weeks. I felt so welcome and had a chance to do what I love with some incredibly talented people.

The view from the upper floor of the Banff Centre library. Below is an open auditorium with red chairs. Beyond are pine trees, the town of Banff, and finally the mountains in the distance. The sky is blue with wispy puffs of cloud.

A wet path leading away from the viewer, with Sulphur Mountain in the background. Yellow light from street lamps is reflecting on the ground, with hanging baskets off each lamp. The sky is cloudy after rain, and the light from the Cosmic Ray Observatory is visible up the mountain

There are so many ravens at the #BanffCentre. I have to very sternly remind myself I can't feed them and turn them into my own personal corvid army 🪶

Back at the #BanffCentre! I did some of my best writing here 20 years ago when I had an “Artist” card. Now I’ve got a “Faculty” card, and I get to work with the very talented writers in the 2025 Literary Journalism program. Nice to be in a place where your biggest worry is running into a calving elk

In January, I was privileged to meet and work with over fifty artists, faculties, & Banff members, including #Kronosquartet at the dreamy #BanffCentre in the heart of the mountains which has filled me with inspiration & joyfulness every moment I spent there.💚
