Water's edge, #reflection. This is in a little bay we stopped at to stretch our legs. #canoeing A calm day, a bit of breeze, cup of tea. #thermos No one around, just a us and a few butterflies. #westkootenay #canada

This morning as the sun was coming up over the mountain across the lake. #spring #birds #singing

This was taken from the canoe one morning. Either we were heading out or heading back. If it was out, we were happy. If it was back, we were also happy. #sky #land #water Kootenay Lake, #Canada.

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. -- Lao-Tze #evening #canoeing #kootenaylakebc #canada

Stopping at the side of the road to honour that little cloud. #prairies #memory #childhood

Wandering the shoreline, Vancouver Island.

Stepping outside first thing in the morning. #spring #grass

People carrying on. #walking #vancouverisland #canada

Just now on a walk along the grasses near Kokanee Creek. #canada #spring

There zillions of these on the old beech tree in the forest. #spring #buds

Years ago. That gent was always there. You'd find yourself looking for him as you headed past. He would be gone now, but of course still there. #fishing #pacificocean #Vancouverisland

This was one evening on Vancouver Island. #looking

Paddling on the shade side of the lake on the way back to where we put in, and taking a moment. #canoeing #glacierwater #westkootenays #canada

The colour of that rubber on Pete's old garden sink in morning light. #spring #shadows He died years ago.

He may appear to be looking at the ocean, but is looking back to see what's become of me. This was years ago, Vancouver Island, Canada. #evening #spring

Old barn #windows at dusk. Could see the field on the other side of the building, as well as the reflection of what was behind me. This was in Prince Edward Island, Canada, a few years ago.

This was taken from the canoe, just as the morning mist was lifting. #blueheron

Taken from the canoe. Waiting for the waves to come, and go. #evening #kootenaylake #canada #spring

The sun on a white office building and #window. This was back in Prince Edward Island late one evening.

You can't see them very well, if at all, but there are swallows flying in the mist. #canoeing #evening #westkootenayBC #canada

Going for a walk. #evening #pacificocean #Vancouverisland #canada

Electric blue sweet pea, and a Mountain bluebird. #pairing #blue

Vancouver Island in the morning. #pacific #ocean #canada

Sitting in the canoe watching the water move over the stones on the shore. #movement #rock #water In a minute we ourselves would move on. This was on a hot day in July, in the mountains.

You could hear them, but not what they were saying: a young couple joking around at the beach. #fun

This was looking back from the canoe after a few days camping on that little island, right. #purcellmountains #canada

Those four geese skimming the surface of the lake, in early spring. #canoeing #reflection #movement

Canoeing at #dusk. #peace #kootenaylake #canada

This is me 4 years ago, after a thunderstorm had come and gone. #rainbow That figure walking up the ramp seems so wonderfully out of place, like a character who got transported from an old old black and white film into a colourful scene.
