The World Goes On

The past year has brought so many challenges for many people. Not much about life has stayed the same, and yet pockets of life flourish. I’ve seen the heartbreak of dream businesses that have had to give up or postpone that dream through no fault of their own. Then I’ve heard other stories of record years for housing, car sales, and by all accounts, Amazon is doing just fine!

 

 

 

Maybe no one has benefited more than the other creatures who share our planet with us. We’ve all heard the stories of more numerous animal sightings, and fish returning to streams that were too polluted to support life before. While some of those things are maybe a little hard to quantify, subjectively I have noted more nature right in my own backyard. At certain times of the year we see deer, but this year they’ve been around more often. Lots of beaver and muskrats in the summer, and our next door neighbor has a fox living in their back yard. The latest in this wild kingdom parade is a great horned owl keeping us company the past couple days.

In the height of the stress and uncertainty that Covid has brought into our lives, it sure is nice to take a minute, look around and realize that the world is still turning, and will continue to do so, and this too shall pass.

One way to get creative is going to new places. Another way is to try and see places you already know in new ways. That’s the thinking I had when I put together this tiny planet view of the Pinawa Suspension Bridge. Its a fun way to take a look at a familiar scene in a new light.

It was part of a day spent exploring the region that I talked about in my Pinawa Bridge post. Enjoy the image, and if you want to explore the tiny planet, be sure to check that out.

Another long weekend in the books in 2013. Its hard to believe where the time has been going. I think for me part of it is being mobile enough to get back our and enjoy the outdoors. While the weather hasn’t been fantastic, it hasn’t been terrible either. Lots of sun mixed with lots of rain and cooler weather. I trust this will make the farmers happy at least. Sunday morning was nice and sunny ahead of afternoon showers, so I headed out to Lockport to watch a good crowd fishing and the birds feeding.
