A Miracle In Motion
Today I’m paying a small homage to the amazing writer of the Bird Nation blog, whose wonderfully informative posts combine photographs and lessons into a brilliantly educational read. I’m sure I won’t manage half as well, but I’m so infatuated with her posts I just have to give it a go
The Recovery Series – An Update
In the toughest times of change and strife the sights I see through my lens calm me, reset my focus, and allow me to work through my turmoil in the peace and quiet of a shutter press.

The Recovery Series – A World Of My Own (Pt2)
It may only be a crow gazing off into the wild blue yonder but as you can see above it has left me so unbelievably happy I sound like a bad parody of Dr Seuss. And as I sat the more and more opportunities for pursuing my mad love of ornithology presented themselves.
The Recovery Series – Undiscovered Country
However there is a distinct lack of birds during the dark hours of the day so my camera and I have been foiled again!
Or have we?…..
Vancouver’s St Patty’s Day Parade
AUTHORS NOTE: Due to the physical stresses of surgical recovery The Celebration Of silence will only be posting once daily for the month of March. We will resume our twice daily postings in April! As many of you know I recently underwent a surgery to remove an attic colosteatoma tumor in my left ear and…
The Recovery Series – A Lesson Learned (Pt3)
the last phases of our walk through a local park with Vancouver-based artist, camerawoman extraordinaire and author of Sights from the Suburbs, Mikah Sharkey.
The Recovery Series – A Lesson Learned (Pt 2)
Mikah became fascinated with the stones that made up a nearby overpass. The above capture is I think, quite signature of her style and a truly amazing interplay between many elements all balanced perfectly for one moment
