| Here for now London, ON October 2023 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
So please don’t mind if I revert to sharing soothing photos I’ve taken in the one place where I can fully - if temporarily - escape from the darkness that seems to be enveloping the planet.
It’s a river valley that happens to be a short walk from home, and I’m reasonably sure it keeps me sane these days.
I came across this single maple leaf sitting on the railing of a boardwalk that crosses over a bend in the river. It was randomly covered with water droplets that reflected the brilliant sun spearing through the leafy canopy above.
The winds were strong that day, even this deep in the woods, so I was a little surprised that it held its own and hadn’t been blown into the waters below.
Maybe the universe meant for me to find it.
Maybe this photography thing is more than just the process of assembling pixels.
Maybe I need to keep returning here.
Maybe I should ponder less and spend more time playing with glass.
Maybe this is where l’ll find some of that elusive kindness.
