Looking at my old photos I found a series from a Friday night in 2007 that totally cracked me up. Shannon and I were just walking to the subway but I was obsessively taking paparazzi type shots of us every couple of seconds. All sorts of crazy, fuzzy, playful, wild shots ensued. I love this one and feel like I want to shift that picture up with my cursor so I can see Shannon scowling at the camera! All in fun, of course!
After a big storm on Vancouver Island in the winter I would sometimes brave the long walk down to the lagoon despite the strong wind. The water there is usually quite calm but not in the winter. Giant debris would be swooshed into the beach like these two giant logs with the water still crashing over them, undecided as to where they should end up.
I do not miss being without power all the time but I do miss the wild windy winters on the island. Even though the sound of the wind raging and shaking our little house would keep me up all night, I was amazed by the power of where we lived. Oddly, it made me feel quite safe but then I used to be enchanted by Nature's power and force.

What a gorgeous photo Suzie, and it's amazing that the power of nature can feel so comforting when it's so powerful and potentially scary. You've always been drawn to nature ever since I can remember, and I can see this so much here from being on the island. I hope you get back to nature Suzie!
Thank you Shannon, it is one of my absolute favs of all time. Yup, I really have, haven't I? I hope so too Shannon. Thank you. :)
Wow, what a powerful photo and powerful experience! Thank you for sharing that, Suzie.
I hope so too. As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also. Always. ;)
big hugs,
Jamie
I thought I'd add another Friday night with Shannon photo1
OMG, Shannon is scowling! LOL. I love it. That's awesome you have a Friday night collection of photos, that's a beautiful thing.
And thank you Jamie! It may happen. I hope it happens.
I totally missed the pic you had there Jamie! Wow, I can tell it's summer but not quite sure where... College/Yonge? Too funny! I love how you can see me squinting and how happy you look! Fun times Friday nights are :)
