Living in a dream. Pops of red and white have appeared in the village. I love autumn for this very reason. #mushroom #amanitamuscaria #dream

A rainy day at Cameron Lake. There are legends that tell of an aquatic monster in those waters. #fog #rain #lake

Ah, but haven’t I earned every wrinkle and every strand of grey upon my head? I often say that my brothers and I have easily burned up 8.7 of our 9 lives promised to a cat. Blessed, and every day grateful. #portrait #sunset #gratitude

That lake of dreams, Kwotlenemo, at sunset. The sun itself can only be seen at the convergence of the mountain and water, but the skies are often magically rich. #sunset #lake #reflection
