I'm a bit of a farm groupie, ICMYI - red tractors, flowering fields, rubber boots and piles of freshly harvested vegetables are my kind of eye-candy, so I had to give a shout-out to North Arm Farm for their delectable instagram feed. It's a bit of an undiscovered gem of an instagram account, and Emma … Continue reading Instagrammers of Pemberton: check out @northarmfarm

25mm of rain in the forecast today, so this shot, from Ruben Guibert, cruising around town, while it conjures a summer that seems to have disappeared, was really only one week ago. How can you not love that mountain in the skyline?
Ruben headed a little farther afield for this week's Photo, capturing a couple of pretty distinctive mountains from on top of the trail Howler.

For me, it's a way to invite a moment of contemplation on a Sunday, given how inspired I am by the Quaker idea of gathering each week … Continue reading Photo for June 7: Ruben Guibert takes the long view

Keep your eye on the snowline...
I was thinking about fall the other day - the way the change of the seasons invites us to contemplate 'passings' - the passage of time, inertia, the fall towards decay... and how, if we can, instead of getting stuck into a fixed mindset of loss, sit with the rhythm and cyclical nature of … Continue reading Photo of the Week: Gary Martin
