| As far as the eye can see Bowood, ON May 2026 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
I’m making good time as the city fades in the rear-view, the sun lighting the way ahead through a perfectly clear blue sky.
As I pass a woodlot on the right, a brilliantly bright field of yellow suddenly materializes, seemingly out of nowhere. I’m guessing it’s canola, and it stands out because most of the early-season farmers’ fields have just been initially plowed and planted.
As much as my autonomic cyclist’s brain wants to maintain momentum, I can’t pass up a closer look, and so I find myself coasting to a stop on the gravel shoulder.
The photo is a seemingly simple one, but I shoot it anyway because I want to remember why some of us occasionally decide to hit the brakes so we can smell - or simply appreciate - the flowers.
Because right here right now, the sun is shining just so. The feeling I get as the gravel crinkles under my tires and the grasses in the ditch sway in the puffy breeze is also unique to this moment. I don’t want to lose that feeling to time, so a photo will have to do.
We remember by looking around and stopping every once in a while. We forget when we decide to speed on past.
