Bowman Bay is always special to me. A favorite place for both kayaking and hiking.

This trumpeter swan pair returns to the beaver pond near my home every winter, and they have become like friends. It's always such a joy to see them when they first appear each November, knowing they survived their arduous journey from the far north.

A peaceful quiet time at the end of the day.

My favorite time of the day for walking on the beach, the “golden hour.”

I loved the strength and feeling of wisdom of this old Cedar, presiding over her realm in the forest on the edge of this tidal creek near Kyuquot Sound, BC.
