Ice Cascade

An icy waterfall cascading down a rockface in Gatineau Park is a visual representation of the effects of the warmth of sunny days and the cold of the nights. It is a creation of nature, an ever-changing sculpture of frozen water. A balance of opposites, of yin and yang...


ebb and flow...


hot and cold...


hard and soft...


and the changing states of liquid and solid.

A Simple Blue Bowl

As is so often the case, I love the simplicity of things. I am much attracted to the understated, the unadorned. I am very much of the "less is more" philosophy.


I love the look of this simple deep blue bowl, perched on a tree stump. Who needs a side table, when a beautiful wooden stump will do the job?



After admiring it for a time, I decided to add a shot of colour to the depths of the bowl's inky blueness... a single coral bloom plucked from a nearby plant that is wintering indoors. Photographed in the window for the light, but now back in place atop the stump.
