Photo Pause: Springtime in the Woods

Note: Photography is a path to mindfulness for me, a meditative and grounding practice that prompts me to slow down and notice the world around me. May these images offer you a space to pause, a respite in your perhaps busy day, and a reminder to take a moment now & then and notice what's going on in the world around you.

It seems I've been spending a lot of time in the woods these days. Despite the rain, D. and I try to get out at least once every weekend. The forest floor is wet, the greens vibrant and just this past week I noticed a sweetness to the air that I wish I could bottle up and keep at my bedside. But then maybe it wouldn't smell as sweet come spring?

Voici, a few favourite snapshots taken during these past few weeks...

Last month D. and I got away for some some r&r, hiking and an unexpected art-related quest. We stayed at Hay Lake Lodge and Cottages, a mere 15 minutes from Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park. It was bliss.

I offer you a few favourite snapshots of some of the wonders I encountered during our time "up north."
