Trees, mountains and water, Vancouver is an incredible combination of the three. Even in the pouring rain you can be sure Vancouver is going to be gorgeous. It wears its puddles well. Spending time out in the trees and along the ocean is essential even on the darkest day.

A Stillness of Trees, this ebook/book/collection was shot out at Porteau Cove on Winter Solstice. Which, you likely will know, is the shortest day of the year. As someone who struggles with the dark, the winter and long nights, Winter Solstice is a date I eagerly await every year.

The day the light starts to return.

Water Birch is named for it’s waves, but also for it’s stability. Roots grow deeper when trees experience hard times. A metaphor I come back to often in hard times.
