Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks, Duncan. I was really curious to see what it looked like in there, close up. Pretty wild. Maybe some fossil sites will be revealed!

Thanks, Martha! Yes, all survived the fire, which is the main thing. And nature regrows quite quickly. I’m looking forward to seeing the changes over the next several years. It should be quite a show!

Thank you!

Yes it was and is a rough time for many. My dad is still not back in his house…it survived but needed a lot of restoration work. Many others have it much worse.

Photo of a trail through small coniferous trees. The trail is moss-lined. At the end of the visible trail, the light appears to have a golden glow.

Thanks! I love the colours, shapes and textures of barrens and bogs.

Me too! I made jam with them while on my trek.

Thanks, Martha! It was a fun trip.

Yes, through hiking is common for this system.

Thank you! Pretty happy with this year’s garden.

Thanks, Martha! We’ve had an unusually hot summer here…the veggies loved it:)

It’s the start of harvest season here at Logy Bay Farms (our back yard). A wonderful time of year.
