Photo Pause: Happy Colour

Because colour is fun...

Photo Pause: Post-storm Beauty

I'm still in re-entry mode from my low information weekend. Until I find my words I offer you a photo pause with images freshly captured in my garden after this afternoon's thunderstorm...

small is beautiful

with blooms the size of a pea I almost missed these beauties, thank goodness I didn't

Photo Pause: The Socialist Pig Coffeehouse

Last Sunday I visited The Socialist Pig Coffeehouse in Gananoque, Ontario, for the second time and I was just as smitten with its coffee, its treats and its ambiance as I was when I first experienced it.

If ever you're in the area, do check it out...

the sign says it all

isn't that the coolest bar?

and check out the vintage suitcase tabletops!

Photo Pause: New Growth (and Trust)

Another trek to my beloved Mud Lake had me seeking and capturing new growth with my camera.

I feel like I'm in the same space - a space of promise and expansion. The only difference is I suspect the seedling knows it will grow into a tree whereas I do not know where the next growth spurt will take me.

Or maybe the seedling doesn't know at all and simply trusts...

soft growth

grounded growth

Photo Pause: Easter Hike at Mud Lake

A pause of images in order for words to reappear. These are a few snapshots from a weekend hike to Mud Lake, a favourite spot of mine right here in the city.

Cool wildlife spotted: hawk, wood duck, muskrat, a prehistoric-looking snapping turtle and dozens of painted turtles soaking up some sun.
