full circle

This is my birthday photo for this year. Note the recurring Leafs theme. I figured today was a good day to make a final post as it is my 50th birthday today.

The Stranded journey is at an end. I have consumed all allotted space and will have to start fresh. Don't worry loyal fans the content will remain the same, only the address will be different.

still Stranded.

Hope to see everyone there.

on a Mission trip

heralding a new season


a scene inside a tv screen


as we came through the mountains from a gray day the coastal sky opened up to blue


blurred in passing misty landscapes at day's end


the journey back had much more sunshine


looking down on Osoyoos


a little south on the same lake... the USA border is far right across the water


the trees are scarce up here


This is a B&B and a functioning observatory

listen for the silence

buddha and the purple petal flowers
listen for the silence


as elements arranged to explain the fall


somewhat worse for wear since the last time found

ink well of inspiration
stirred a design impossible to see
except with the mind
