A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Inspired by Soulemama.

Just another amazing day in my blessed life…..when I awake to eagles chittering outside my window, when my job has me taking salmon eggs to local schools to be cared for by excited students who know they will save the world, when a pod of orcas travels alongside my ferry and has my whole self bursting with the joy of it…..
I am reminded that I am part of an amazing world, that I live in paradise, that it is important for me to take the time to honour the magic, that I am doing the right thing working as an environmental educator and sharing nature and stewardship with my girls (and so many other amazing little people).
I feel a painting coming on…eagles, salmon and whales….oh my!
Someone recently told me that this year, the Year of the Dragon, will be a year for magic. It makes sense, given that the Dragon is the only mystical creature of all the 12 Chinese “zodiac” animal signs. I am excited to see what the year will bring and the fortune in my cookie tonight seems to be a very good way to start it off…
….I might have to head up to the studio right now…and keep this inspiring little reminder somewhere visible for a little while. Gung Hei Fat Choy 恭喜發財
Even though it is hardly barefoot weather, this quote keeps coming to me:
…and I find myself listening to these words, getting out for a walk every day, and enjoying the wild wintery moments that whip my hair all about and make me feel part of something so much bigger than the little world that I often get lost in.
I come back from these “little adventures” feeling refreshed, rosy cheeked, and often inspired. So much so that I must grab the camera to run back out or take a moment to capture the beauty in type…
The taste of winter we finally had this week has been especially magical. Lured outside to the crunching snow while I walk in so much silence, joining the girls for toboggan giggles and shrieks, splashing in the snowmelt puddles of the forest by the sea.
Perhaps tomorrow I will take a moment to paint something outside the window while I sit by the cozy fire? More likely (more simply) I will just use that coveted F-R-E-E moment to myself to get out there for another escape from my little world (the messy house is so much easier to ignore when I am not in it).
How are you enjoying being outdoors in winter?
