“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated” Confucius

I have not been posting a lot of photos recently, somehow it just has not seemed relevant. Motivation to do something is a strange thing. It comes in impulsive waves of intense focus, burns bright for a while, and eventually fades like the flickering light of a candle. Before you know it there are too many other fires burning around you to notice the light from that lone fading candle. One has to periodically turn off all the lights in order to appreciate the smaller flames and breathe new life into them.

I took this shot of an ice fishing hut on the lake in front of our house. People often wonder what could possibly motivate someone to head out in -30C (-22F) to stare at a small hole in the ice for days on end. It’s just their way of turning off the lights, so they can see what’s important in life.

I may not have been posting a lot however I have spent a lot of time out exploring the wilderness with my family over the past few months and have a back catalogue of photos to edit since winter. So you will eventually see a flurry of activity here, when the candle starts to burn a little brighter.
