In the early evening, of a spring day, I sit in a cushy chair reading from a book which attracts my attention during fleeting moments. As I reach the end of a philosophical statement, the book automatically slips to my lap as my concentrated gaze penetrates invisible moods. My vision hesitates on the view beyond the window across the room. Deep thoughts instantly shift to the outdoor scene.
My view centres on the distant skyline in the west. That low-lying, timbred ridge, provides as broad a vista as my large window's focused perspective can possibly reveal. I am sure that fortress of tree covered rock, with a dip in its centre, is thirty-one kilometres away at its furthest point.
That whole, bland looking skyline, is the base of a softly unfolding sunset, creating a magical moment of wonder. Feather light, wispy clouds, are fanned in an easterly direction, the multi-fingered tips touching the air above my home. This delicate expanse carried a restful colour in shades of golden yellow, tinged with faint pinkish threads.
This captivating moment, with daintily applied brush strokes by the highly skilled artist, hung on for one-third of an hour. The effects of the experience carry's on.

Relating to the Williams album, and possibly the original owner of the album, Margaret Williams. This photo shows Margaret, with her friend Cliff. There is reason to believe that Cliff may be from some other place, not Croydon, B.C. He may have travelled to B.C. for a hunting trip as there are such photos in the album. Here is the caption written on back of the photo: "Cliff and I and the tractor. I'm merely an ornament. Don't run away with the idea that I was manipulating the plow."

A scanned photo from the Williams album. The following detail is written on the back: "Near Banff Alberta July, 1927". It is believed that the album may have been put together by the late Margaret Williams who taught school in the Croydon and Dunster area's of B.C. during late 1920s and into the 1930s.
