Earlier this week we received the prettiest surprise in the mail from @RedCrossCanada! The ink pen and gold stickers were a gift from the organization, for our donations after my Dad passed away in December 2015.

Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.
There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.
'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.
Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.

Portland Harbour host of the 2012 Sailing Olympics. To the left is Chesil Beach, an 18 mile pebble marvel! The Fleet, a stretch of water between the beach & the mainland was once used to test the Bouncing Bomb, rumour has it there is still once lost in the Fleets Depths.

I was mesmerized with the beauty of these water lilies after it has been washed off of rain and the clouds ignite the sky as the sun sets beyond the horizon. This shot was taken at Dingin River, Magdalena, Pagsanjan, Philippines.
Andrew and I had a little fun with the post-storm light. I snagged a photo of him and he decided to return the favor.
This photo captures a stunning sunset (or sunrise) over a beach with a long pier extending across the horizon. The sun is positioned low, right above the horizon, casting a warm, vivid orange and red glow across the sky with streaks of clouds adding texture. The light reflects beautifully on the wet sand and shallow water in the foreground, where a few birds are scattered along the shoreline. Silhouettes of people can be seen on the pier and the beach, adding a peaceful and serene human element to the tranquil coastal scene. The whole image feels calm, warm, and picturesque.
I always had a dream of going to California, finding the closest beach, dipping my toes in the Pacific and watching a sunset over the ocean. It took far too long, but mission accomplished.
