I’m doing a house-sit on Salt Spring Island for the month. My hope is to complete a book proposal by the end of February. However, this is among about 5 other major projects sandwiched around a Winnipeg wedding (my brother’s) next weekend. Why do I continually pile up more goals than is humanly possible to achieve in the timeline that I alot? However, since arriving here on Salt Spring, I have felt very connected to the landscape, and feel energized by our South facing home which bathes me in the warm sun. Many walks have led me by arbutus and Garry Oak trees, inspiring me to get the old camera out and play. What is relevant to me right now is not the goals I have set out for myself, but the feeling of the air, and the larger than memory spiritual connection I have with the outside, the natural world here, and now, on Salt Spring Island

Hey,
I really enjoyed all your explanations of your photos when I was talking to you at UBC – the Rincon Mountains Desert has taken up residence in my practice room and the forest one from sims creek valley is heading out to my mom in ontario now to remind her to come back.
thanks for the beautiful images

Thanks Beth!
I really value learning where my photography ends up.
All the best!
