The day began remembering that, like each leaf, every precious separated child is unique.

start the day
It may be dark outside early in the morning but a view like this from the Pacific Spirit Park, Vancouver on Monday is a good way to start the day don’t you think?

spirit park
Yesterday’s photo of the day from the Pacific Spirit Park, Vancouver with which to start your Sunday; a moment to lift everyone’s spirits. It certainly did ours as I hope it does yours.
life’s illusions
Yesterday’s reflective moment in Fisherman’s Wharf, Vancouver as I return to the leaves today.
“I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all.”
Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now
The Red Jogger
On a perfect Fall day this red jogger joins my Red Cyclist
Its serendipity once again.
the dog that didn’t bark in the park
Today’s moment of the day, our introduction to beautiful 9 year old Stella who very kindly posed for us on the Council Trail in the Pacific Spirit Park. Happy Monday 🙂

Dedicated to the memory of Samuel Paty
Once again the Place de la République in Paris today became the “capital of the world” to use the words of Francois Hollande after thousands gathered there and throughout France to protest and remember those lost after the Charlie Hebdo attack over five years ago.
In the studio today my thoughts are very much with all the citizens of this great city as they walk in their millions for remembrance, for freedom, for tolerance, for love, for mankind, for the future.

Je suis Samuel
Looking again at my post from five years ago…
…plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose
May Samuel Paty rest in peace.

returning to italy
Three years ago we were enjoying the beauty of the Tuscan landscape. How different our landscape is here in British Columbia but the beauty of both uplifts us all during these difficult times.
Here are a few images from our visit to Certaldo a beautiful hilltop town 35 kilometres southwest of Florence, which I posted about three years ago today on the fourth day of our memorable Italian holiday, a holiday that began on day one with an unforgettable moment in Rome:
