Knee deep in the Birkenhead River, David Ward chases the light
Even though we haven't yet met, I was pretty stoked to hear that David Ward had moved home for work, to take a position at the Village of Pemberton, as I've been a fan of his photography for some time. Now I can be assured his lens will be trained on local sights... and keep … Continue reading Knee deep in the Birkenhead River, David Ward chases the light
Potato fields in bloom still make Michelle Beks sigh
You've got to love it when a potato farmer, who has seen plenty of fields in bloom, for whom said fields mean work, work and more work, still stops to soak in the glory of a field of potatoes in bloom, take a photo, share it online and invite people to take a drive up … Continue reading Potato fields in bloom still make Michelle Beks sigh
Shayla Wallace captures the radiance

Seasonal observations: It’s spring and love is in the air
My favourite correspondent, John Tschopp, has broken away from his usual orthithological themed observations to share this one, for our collective phenology journal. Phenology, derived from the Greek word phaino, meaning "to show or appear," is literally "the science of appearance." It is a segment of ecology focused on the study of periodic plant and animal lifecycle … Continue reading Seasonal observations: It’s spring and love is in the air
Pink sky at night: Photo by Victoria Saddleman
I love it when young people are the ones giving up a shake-yourself dose of wisdom. Thanks to Victoria Saddleman for sharing this moment, and this thought: Life is too short to spend it at war with yourself 🌹
Happy International Women’s Day
I asked Anastasia Chomlack to do a takeover of our instagram because she's an inordinately talented photographer who moved her family to Pemberton, she hosts all kinds of workshops and gatherings geared at empowering women, and she's lived through her own health struggles, so I figured she'd have some insight into wellness. https://www.instagram.com/p/BfrK5IZjEtu/?taken-by=thewellnessalmanac I didn't … Continue reading Happy International Women’s Day
