Glorious respite at Deerhurst

While attending a conference at Deerhurst Resort (Huntsville, ON), I took in the contemplative mood of the melting ice on Deerhurst Lake, framed by nature's slow and deliberate re-awakening.

Ragged Falls (Huntsville, ON)

Back in April, it was well worth the 20 minute trek over ice and mud to reach Ragged Falls, just outside of Huntsville, in beautiful cottage country north of Toronto. Raging currents from the melting snow was wondrous to watch and hear.

Natural Beauty

Grateful to a generous donor who makes it possible to have "Natural Beauty" (sunset at Jordan Harbourside, Niagara) hanging in the Provincial Office, Ontario-Kentucky Province of the Resurrectionists in Waterloo, ON, Canada.

Down by the river side

With strength, grace and thriving by the river side...a symbol of the amazing spirit of life, within and all around us. Spring opens my eyes to the wonderment of life re-emerging after winter's slumber.

'Interconnected': 6 Degrees (or less) of Separation

Often I am reminded of the many unsuspected ways we are interconnected, at times when I least expect it--funerals, weddings, meeting guests at the Gallery. Often, in times of tragedy, the ties that draw us together are welcomed and necessary, and sadly with recent events in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, we are profoundly reminded of this across Canada, even the world. I am thankful for all those who are there when I need them, when I hardly realize we are even connected.

When I take time to observe ways of nature, I realize that "inter-connectedness" is nothing novel!
