enough room for everyone
Healthy Mindset – Days 44-46 The thing that has given me the greatest peace of mind through all of this has been going outside. From the beginning, I didn’t interpret “stay home” as having to stay inside. I took it to mean don’t go out unnecessarily (limit shopping to once a week and if the…

prairie crocus
Healthy Mindset – Days 41-43 The top three subjects on my Saskatchewan-related photography list are crocuses, owls, and foxes. Finally, yesterday, I photographed some crocuses! They are a sure sign of spring, only bloom for a very short period of time, and difficult to find, usually only where natural prairie grassland still exists. As with…

Poser
Healthy Mindset – Days 35-38 I love photographing animals because you just have to stand back and capture what they give you. Most of the time it’s pure gold. How often do you see a llama by the side of the road? This one has loads of personality! Sometimes you just gotta let your inner…

Wildflowers in the Great Bear Rainforest
Healthy Mindset – Day 32 One of my favourite days of the year is when I get dirt under my fingernails and plant my flowers. That’s still a few weeks off, but it was the first warm day here yesterday so I filled my pots with new soil, and figured what will go in each…

my favourite tree
Healthy Mindset – Days 28-31 “You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.” Dr. Seuss Or, as my Mom would say when I was a kid and couldn’t find something I was looking for, “open your eyes and look!” I’m fascinated by this tree! I’ve photographed it before when it was full…

Scenes From A Walk
Healthy Mindset – Day 26 & 27 I feel very fortunate to live where I do. Even in the middle of the city, it’s not hard to find open space to go for a walk while maintaining physical distancing. Yesterday’s walk was the best part of my day, as it so often has been during…

…closer to home…
Healthy Mindset – Day 24 With few exceptions in the last month, I’ve gone on a daily walk before making supper. It’s been a nice way to mark the transition from day to evening so it has become something I really look forward to. If you’re trying to find some separation in your days, give…

…some of the places I’ve been…
Healthy Mindset – Days 20-23 It will be quite awhile before we are able to travel widely again, and while I have lots of thoughts about what it could be like, for now, I thought it could be a nice challenge to pick one picture from each of the places I’ve been lucky enough to…

Face Towards the Sun
Healthy Mindset – Day 19 It was nice to see the sun today after a couple of miserable days here. It’s still a bit chilly, but somehow everything seems better when the sun is shining… “Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and the shadows will fall behind you.” Walt Whitman All the pictures…

Sidewalk Messages Vol. 2
Healthy Mindset – Day 16 Who doesn’t like a compliment? As the weather gets warmer here, I’m looking forward to documenting even more sidewalk art and seeing more positive, hopeful messages like this. Looking for sidewalk chalk art in the neighbourhood has seriously brightened my days. Like, c’mon, look at little Charlie’s (I’m assuming he’s…

Sidewalk Messages
Healthy Mindset – Day 13 On an otherwise very blah day, this made my day….I don’t know Auntie Chan or Leo, but I love that she can look out her living room window and see this message! We are not in a full “lockdown” here, so going for a walk is still allowed. It’s essential…

Thoughts on Resilience
“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” Lena Horne Healthy Mindset – Day 11 I’m an over-thinker. Are you? Do you also absorb information deeply and feel things deeply? Does it sometimes cause you to dwell on the worst possible outcomes? During times like this, I think it’s…
