Brown Lake? Mirror Lake would be a more appropriate! Gotta love how the name provided a lesser expectation, leading to this delightful surprise. I really got lucky with still waters and lighting this day. If I recall correctly, without checking my map, this is about 2/3 way on Skookumchuck Narrows Trail to North Point to view the whirlpools.

Saying au revoir to summer holidays and looking forward to a mild sunny autumn. What a spectacular way to mark the milestone of a new school year starting.

Morning + Dog + Coffee = Bliss Amazing. Watched the Perseids meteor shower last night and show a big one with vapor trails giving it a long green tail. Then had one of the best sleeps I've ever had camping a rarity at this walk-in campground because there's always someone being noisy past 10p, loud snoring folks or the train, with each walk-in site only 8ft apart measuring from the centre of the site. . .... . Woke up at 8am to @fenleytucker flopping down beside me for belly rubs Got up afterwards with him patiently waiting to be let out while changed, quick pee walk then onto coffee. I love these portable pour over coffee pots for camping. Perfect little cuppa. . . . #camping #bccamping #outdoors #outdoorwomen #wanderlust #getoutside #leavenotrace #campwithdogs #morning #coffee #tent See more

My sweet love @fenleytucker . I can't believe I've had him for nearly 11 months now. Time flies! Since the day I began fostering him, every 3-5 weeks we'd make progress with his training/retraining. Despite being 4 -5 yrs old already and quite headstrong, his behaviours has shifted and he has learned new tricks. His quirky and goofy side has slowly come out and I see him smile more and more these last couple of months He's becoming less and less reactive to reactive dog...s or ill-socialized anxious dogs, as well as has begun to give more space between us, a sign of him feeling more confident and relaxed, feeling safe from being abandoned. I'm so proud of him, and I, in our journey together, my heart swells. #lovedogs #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #dogstagram #doglife #doglover #dogs #dogsofinstagram #spitzmix #finnishspitz #germanspitz #pomeranian #lhasaapso #AdoptDontShop #pbandchi #ilovemydog #igersvancouver #whiterock #foxdog #pnwlife #traildog #handsomedog

Truth. Fear, uncertainty and discomfort are your compasses toward growth. What growth are you experience now? With the current global situation, I believe a lot of folks are experiencing growth, a collateral gain and it's beautiful.

Hello everyone! I hope to find you well in the midst of summer days here in Metro Vancouver. :) As some of you know, I practice guided meditation weekly and today I came across this one and thought of our collective of creative minds and how we likely have in common from childhood is our confidence being creative, how it was somehow nurtured from early age, and we as adults have continued to nurture our nature. I found this short guided meditation uplifting, reminding me n...ot only do I nurture my nature in creativity, but I could do more nurturing of my own confidence in specific areas as an entrepreneur. Also, while thinking about our state of being currently into the 5th month of the pandemic, I feel that this meditation could refresh our childlike sense of wonder and adventure, finding more creative ways to work and play... May you find this meditation enlightening or relaxing at the least. Wishing you all a wonderful week with the beautiful sunshine.<3 https://insighttimer.com//g/releasing-childhood-confidence

Fascinating <3. I've never known or seen galls, how interesting and beautiful (the ones in the post image)

Images that capture why I love being in the outdoors, especially when camping here on the West coast of Canada. Happy Day to us!! We were very fortunate to have neighbours who all respected and practised #leavenotrace and were respectful of wildlife, nature and other humans. Quiet, enjoying and listening to nature. It was a dream! When car camping it can be such a hit or miss. It was a 11/10 this time around. ....... Camping without distractions to truly appreciate nature, #leavenotrace, and respect the holistic environment (minimalistic and simplistic - NO distractions with radio/speakers, digital devices, games)... Time slows down, a reduction of decisions that are simplified, tons of opportunity to focus on the task at hand in facing limitations or challenges (getting to use my creative problem solving or designer brain), and the most important, space and time to let me be fully present to allow retrospection. Practicing the art of minimalistic camping brings calm and perspective on life, mindfulness, very restorative. #outdoorwoman #outdoorphotography #outdoors #minimalism #camping #carcamping #canada #beprepared #bepresent #mindfulness #nature #naturallightphotography #naturephotography #igerscanada #igersvancouver #pnwlife #wanderlust #respectwildlife #respectnature #naturalista #designthinking @ Canada

Oh, this! Reparenting myself on this one for the last year or so, especially hard with those closer relationships. Learning to set boundaries and hold them. "ie. be willing to set and hold boundaries."
