KUTA SUNSET If the barbed wire fence were not there to support the vines it would crawl along the stone walls, the ground, and get trampled on. Most of the things that help us grow aren't always pretty, and occasionally, can leave scars. However, they help shape us and give us strength to keep going, sometimes even guiding the way. Have gratitude for what has made you stronger . . .... . Kuta, Bali.

SURFER SILHOUETTE After watching the (better than me) surfers catch the sunset waves, this local had perfect timing for me to snag her photo as she came out of the ocean. . .

WAITING... Wishing, waiting, and hoping your friends will come home to play... . The thought of this topic, this...this that should NOT be happening is gut wrenching, makes my skin crawl, breaks my heart, and angers me all at the same time. .... It's always time to stand up for those that can't. Always. Not just on the National Day that recognizes it. . . #EndHumanTrafficking #SaveTheChildren #humantraffickingawareness #keepfighting #childtrafficking #standupforthosethatcant See more

BEAUTY Sometimes the most beautiful thing is just around the corner. With time, patience, and a little boat power, you'll find it . . Shot while on holiday in Thailand, April 2019 with my Nikon Z6, Nikkor 24-120 f/4.... The ONLY gear I brought!! Oh and my little Olympus TG5 waterproof camera . . . #Thailand #patience #sunsets #mynikonlife #nikoncanada #NikonZ6 #nikonnofilter #traveloften See more

Two weeks ago Kitchener protested for #blacklivesmatter . And in some cities, the world is still marching. Were you there? Did you watch virtually? Were you there in spirit? What are you doing today to continue that support? What books have you read? Documentaries? Movies? Podcasts? Build your knowledge and understanding of this issue our world is facing. Spread kindness. Smile with your eyes when wearing a mask. Help where you can. Stand up when you must. #bethechange #bekind #antihate @ Kitchener, Ontario
