Gary and I worked together for 4 years at Origin Design - I did words, he did design. We had a running banter about what was most important. Today, he wins. No words needed.

Well, hello winter. Shayla Wallace’s photo today is pure wonderland
Shayla Wallace captured this image from one of the look-out points in Mount Currie. The girl made the rain look beautiful (see her amazing fall image that was recently featured on Global TV), but I think, because that 40 day stretch of soggy precip has broken, that today's image makes me particularly happy. Hello snow! Keep … Continue reading Well, hello winter. Shayla Wallace’s photo today is pure wonderland

When they take to the air, they are shy, the sky is full of birds. With the camera it is not easy to catch this impression. I … Continue reading November Birdwatch with John Tschopp (and save the date of December 15 for the Christmas Bird Count)
Polek Rybczynski offers a little inner forest illumination in today’s feature photo
What I love about our photo contributors and their offerings to the blog is the way they invite me to stop in my regular tracks and look more closely at the world around me.

A Halloween Strawberry – a guest post from Hugh Naylor
So great to welcome Hugh Naylor to this space. It’s Halloween and my friend in a Lions Villa unit hears a knock on the door. Outside it’s dark and rainy. He was on his way to bed and asks himself if he should answer. ( He has forgotten about Halloween and so unprepared for visitors). … Continue reading A Halloween Strawberry – a guest post from Hugh Naylor

Blink. Think. Stay a while. Why I’m loving the instagram takeover project.
I can tell you within 10 seconds of meeting you whether you're someone I want to spend more time with. Don't be too impressed.
