Bee had to work last night and I felt like an evening stroll so I strapped on my water sneakers and headed to Crescent Beach. The tide was way out and I just kept walking toward the lighthouse. I thought the cloud bank would provide a nice pre-sunset image.
Scrolling through my photos from the month, I was struck by how many were of the changing sky.
Maybe it’s more noticeable when paired with the white snow and ice covered water. It’s typically water that inspires me to capture the scene. The sky is usually just the backdrop, but in February it took centre stage.
I’m so in love with this place.
Highly edited. It was actually quite a nice late-September day.
With rain and cooler temperatures in the forecast for the rest of the week, we decided to take the afternoon off and get out to try a couple of new trails in the area.
The Lazy Bay Trail near Wallace, N.S. was damp, but not too wet or mucky. Easy, yet rugged terrain, and pretty well maintained by local volunteer groups. And the mushrooms abounded! A delightful afternoon walk in nature, with my love.
That’s the question of the day today. After going through my photos yesterday, for my September love letter, I was struck by all of this beauty that I notice and try to capture, but I rarely revisit them, and don’t really share them.
I do not want to spend my time or energy on the addictive, toxic and ad-riddled social media sites.
I’m not chasing views, hits, likes etc.
I want a space to show/share what I see.
So, why not do that here? It certainly can’t hurt to try. If it doesn’t work or look good or motivate me to show up more often, well I won’t be worse off than I am now.
I even harbour a secret hope that it will encourage me to show up more often, in even more ways.
I’ve been private and quiet for what feels like a long time. Maybe I’m feeling ready to show up again. In my own space and on my own terms. I don’t really know what that’s going to look like, but there’s only one way to find out.
