Shinrin-yoku at Stanley Park, Late September
Shinrin-yoku is the Japanese term for bathing in the forest atmosphere or taking in the forest with our senses and thereby connecting more deeply with the natural world (source).

Yesterday at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
I’m going to continue to publish galleries of recent walks along my favourite trails. A few words of explanation, perhaps more for me rather than you, the kind viewer/reader. These are not fine art photographs, nor perfectly composed images in good light taken with the best lens. However, these photographs are meaningful to me. They comprise a visual diary of places I love because I feel at peace while I’m there and they evoke feelings of awe, joy, and gratitude that I am alive in this world, however broken it may be.
The following series of images are from recent walks along the Vedder River Rotary Trail to and from the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve.
(You can navigate they gallery by clicking on the small images below the large one on view.)
The harshest summer of my lifetime ended gently and beautifully
Enjoying the sunshine and green before the storm.
