Allan Forest Photography

Each moment we shift how we see those we love depending on circumstance, the thoughts running through our minds, colouring our perspective. Like looking through a window that challenges our view to see and feel with clarity even as life presents challenges that rearrange the patterns of how we see and love.

Snow was lightly falling yesterday. Not enough to make a winter impression, but enough to attract my attention to the pristine snow crystals settled on my red car ...

Delicate snowdrops popping out of the ground bringing a refreshing feeling of spring ...

Enjoying our first snowfall ...

The other day during a short lived heavy snowfall, I pulled out my camera for the first time since having surgery last month. I watched a flock of sparrows in a distant tree feeding and playing as the snow fell.

Cliff Gilker creek dreamily meandering, filling the forest with the lush sound of flowing water ...

Golden grasses of Francis Point against the cool blue waters of Francis Bay ...

It's mid August and the golden grasses of autumn are reminding us that summer is almost over. We spent the day hiking Francis Peninsula and enjoying a pristine summer outing ...

Emergence of a water child ...

Stepping into a timeless moment ...

Hiked to Day Falls yesterday and took a series of photos. Felt so good to photograph something other than ducks and chickens.

There is nothing like a glorious sunset to bring tranquility to the end of a day ...

A grove of perennial yellow starthistles greet us as we step out the front door ...

Lillies overflowing with life, so happy to be alive if only for a short while, unconcerned with what may happen next, there is only now ...

Movement in a moment of presence, the sun eternally circling the globe as destinations attract our attention seeming to matter while dissolving into nothingness as the universe continues its dance ...

Got lost within the motion of water the other day ...

Mesmerized by repeating patterns that are never exactly the same, always unique, forever expressing life's mystery ...

Sat on a log on Bonniebrook beach enthralled with surf rolling into shore, watching, feeling the timeless movement of water that's been here for around 4.6 billion years ... . .... #seascapephotography #seascape #landscape #landscapephotography

Interesting patterns of storm clouds and light off Bonniebrook beach ...

Raindrops on a stem, an encounter with the jungle in my own backyard ...

Poppy bud opening to the morning sun ...

Yellow Lillies in the garden in a constant dance of birth, death and rebirth. There is so much beauty in this world if we can only see that we all come from the same source ...
