"Looking out for the one I love I've been down by the sea, baby I've been up in the highlands Past the farms and debris I've been rollin' down on the good stuff... Past the roads I can see, oh babe Lead me back to the one I love All roads lead to me I've been movin' I'll be driftin'" - The War On Drugs . Lots of countryside drifting tends to get one in some sort of bird-photography thing. It’s been a great way to take a break and reconnect with nature lately . Music/Lyrics: @thewarondrugs See more

"You were a child, crawling on your knees toward it Making momma so proud But your voice is too loud We like to watch you laughing You pick the insects off plants... No time to think of consequences Control yourself Take only what you need from it A family of trees wanting To be haunted" - MGMT . It’s nice to look back to photos of warmer days where family could still get together in a larger bubble and I could really be fun unky Jonny in person. News of this impending vaccine has got me all tho. Stay safe out there, y’all. . In Frame: Aiden Music/Lyrics: @whoismgmt See more

"Free as a bird It's the next best thing to be Free as a bird Home, home and dry... Like a homing bird I'll fly As a bird on wings Whatever happened to The life that we once knew? Can we really live without each other? Where did we lose the touch That seemed to mean so much? It always made me feel so..." - The Beatles . I learned of this quote recently that describes my need to head out into the woods so frequently: A walk in nature walks the soul back home - Mary Davis. Also, these and delightful little birds are a cheeky little bunch ! . Music/Lyrics: @thebeatles @johnlennon

"Across the time and space A never-ending dance A blooming and a trance You make me feel my soul There's no more loneliness... Only sparkles and sweat There's no more single fate You make me feel myself Oh oh oh oh oh ohohoh Will you stay in this land forever?" - M83 . Remember when it wasn’t raining? If not, this might help ;) . Music/Lyrics: @m83music See more

"In the night when all hibernates I stay awake Searching the deep, dark depths of my soul tone Golden tones Gold tones" - Kurt Vile .... I’ve had the pleasure in the last few months to meet and photograph Jay Miron - ex BMX pro mastermind, and current bespoke furniture craftsman extraordinaire. Beyond being a great dude, his woodwork is something to behold and experience. He can be seen here, working with focus and intent. I recall, on my first visit to his workshop, sitting in one of his markey lounge chairs and quietly saying wow. .

Hi, face-followers! Starting today, I'm going to put forth 20% of each print sold on my online store toward donations for the canine rescue society Black Dog Rescue Society BC (https://www.blackdogrescueofbc.com/). They do great work in rehabilitating and caring for abandoned dogs and dogs who are stuck in shelters, and I want to help them out in whatever way I can. To get to the online store, visit http://www.jonhealy.ca/prints. I hope you're all doing ok in this most strange of times. Much love, Jon

Hello, Facefriends! I've made a couple short films with soundtracks as of the last couple of years, and I've now posted three I've done thus far on my website! I've been foraying into video work more and more - I'm building my skills, and am loving combining video and audio. They're mood-based explorations of moments and settings, and I'll be continuing to create more. I hope you enjoy them. Link below: http://www.jonhealy.ca/videoaudio Be well, and much love!... Jon
