sooke basin

the basin – day 150

the osprey and the fish – be kind, stay safe, be well

150 days of the Sooke Basin. 152 days of Covid19. I started this photo project thinking it would be just for a while, just for the pandemic. No one know in those early days what we would be facing. Oh how it would drag on.

This pandemic has brought out the best of us and it has brought out the worst of us. We seem to be on one side or another but no where close to the middle.

So, what is really the middle? When I think of the middle, I see a long green meadow under a sultry sun dotting the blue cotton skys, reading a book. Yes, leisure. To walk without fear. The leisure to walk without want of food or shelter. The leisure to read, learn and grow as an individual.

Enjoy your middle today – virtual hugs all around. Thanks for dropping by 🙂

the basin – day 149

the sultry sun rises above the basin – be kind, stay safe, be well

the wind is warm this morning, the grasshoppers chirp in the grass above the beach. clams spit into the air with a little slurp of water reaching into the sky at the waters edge. far to the right are the peacocks in the East Sooke Park greeting the rising sun. these are just some of the sounds that are not captured each morning that yet make my days so much calmer. the warmth of the day will overtake this calmness with our prattling about the earth. thanks for dropping by 🙂

the basin – day 145

a feathery start to the day – be kind, stay safe, be well

“It takes nothing to make you happy. It takes something to make you sad.” Each half on its own is shapeless, without context and immense in scope and only takes on meaning when placed next to the other.

Moments are fleeting and like emotions, need context to shape and confine them into meanings.
