We often come across some fairly abstract scenes as we go through the paces of our otherwise ordinary lives.
Because wonder lurks in the corners we’d typically ignore.
And anything can be extraordinary if we choose to look through the right lens.

The biggest bird sits on the highest tree beside a remote lake, scanning for whatever might happen next.
Maybe she knows us puny humans have named this place Eagle Lake. Maybe she can read a map. Maybe she appreciates geographic irony.
Probably not.

It’s that season once again, where the warming sun plays tug-of-war with winter’s chill.
And if we keep our eyes open, we might be in for a bit of a show.
A reminder, perhaps, of the simple joys waiting quietly just outside the front door.

Do you ever just stare at a tree and wonder what it’s thinking as it reaches for the sky?
I highly recommend it. Maybe there are no answers to be had, but that’s not really the point of this exercise, anyway.

Deep in the woods, a narrow, rocky path winds its way down toward the river.
I can feel its loosely set rocks through the soles of my shoes, Mother Nature seemingly encouraging me to slow down and enjoy the journey.

This tree is either dead or waiting for life to return in the spring. Or maybe it’s somewhere in between.
I’d like to imagine that whoever stops to check in here has their own story to tell.

In the dying hours of a month best described as grey, the dark skies open up and cover the ground with a blanket of white.
So we follow strangers leaving tracks in their wake. And wish those whose hands are on the wheel a safe journey.

On an ordinary Saturday night grocery run, the cream cheese display calls out to me.
So out comes the camera, of course.
I get stares from strangers. My wife walks away in embarrassment.
But our next breakfast promises to be epic.

Ancient factories don’t always give up their secrets without a bit of effort.
So we step into dusty stairwells, under brick walls eroded by time, and grab on to cold steel polished smooth by generations of now-vanished workers.
And we listen for the echoes.

Intense snow squalls raked our region all night and painted it white. So please don’t mind if I search for colour on this dim morning.
This Grumman HU-16 Albatross trains the next generation of test pilots and flight engineers. A legend, right in our own back yard.

On the first day of November, I’m driving through the countryside. The skies are having a bit of a hissy fit, ominous clouds racing overhead, pushed by winds I can feel through the wheel, painting the farmland below something fierce.
So I park the car. Just because.

Where we find a tiny moment of wonder that reminds us there’s a bright side to the cold, snow, and murk.
So we engage in some guerilla driveway photography before the snowbrush comes out.
I hope you find your icicle today, as well.

A month ago, fire glowed in the tones at our feet, in the remaining leaves that still held onto their last wisps of colour despite the inevitability of all that surrounded them.
They were a defiant bunch, weren’t they?

On an unseasonably warm September afternoon bike ride, I come across this trio of Canadian Geese hanging out in a drainage pond.
I only have my smartphone, so I grab one pixelated mess of a photo before the three angry birds promptly swim away.
Maybe next time.

The sky was in a bit of a mood last night, splattering herself with random colours and textures long after sunset.
Just as soon as the chaos reached its peak, it began its just-as-rapid fade into darkness.
So I just stood there on the damp, soft grass, and stared.

When tiny frozen miracles are playing out at our feet, the least we can do is look down.
Soon enough, the morning sun will rise and render this scene a memory.
So out comes the camera. Because we never know when the next miracle will occur.

All of this is temporary.
The reflective waters may or may not continue to flow. The trees will eventually fall. The entire valley, carved out by these same waters over millennia, will eventually morph into something else.
So we hold onto the ephemeral.

The signs are everywhere.
Even here, rusting away in the dusty corners of an elementary school parking lot.
I fear the day when someone decides to paint over the cracks and the rust.
Because the scars we pick up along the way tell stories that don’t deserve to be erased.

On the surface it looks like one red pepper among many in the grocery store.
But I’d like to imagine it’s a moment where I hit pause on a noisy planet for a few seconds and focus on the one thing that matters:
Quiet, uninterrupted simplicity.

There are days when you just want to mash the throttles and join your friends in the skies for some death-defying moments.
Bonus points if you make a ton of noise and leave some reality-distorting jelly behind.

Some days it makes more sense to say nothing and listen more.
Some days the only answer is to stand beside the slowly flowing waters.
In a place like this.
