iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Paula Smith @mindfuladventure.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

The real work isn’t becoming someone new. It’s unlearning who the world told you to be. You were never broken— just buried under layers that were never yours to carry.

Healing isn’t just about the trauma. It’s about the shame, the disbelief, and the silence that followed. When you weren’t protected. When you weren’t believed. If that’s been your story—I see you. You deserved better. #traumahealing #believevictims #nervoussystemhealing

The ocean gives and it humbles 🌊🏄‍♂️ One moment, you’re riding high, feeling like you’ve mastered it. The next, you’re reminded who’s really in control. And whether you’re standing on the shore or riding the wave, it always leaves you feeling something.

One of those places where, as you walk the trail in, the closer you get to the beach, the more everything spills out of your mind. The noise, the busyness, the weight of the day… gone. Replaced by misty waves, salt air, and the pull of the tide. 🌊 Sombrio Beach

This little spot in Goldstream Provincial Park is tucked right off the highway. Some say the traffic noise takes away from the experience but for me once I’m lost in the greens, the moss, and the light filtering through the trees, the rest of the world fades away.

Walking back after a gorgeous sunset on Dallas Road, I turned around and caught this view.

Those first golden evenings of the season, the kind that pull people outside, eager to soak in that warm light. Still a cold breeze, but the warm colors of the sunset balance it out. The calm, shared presence of strangers, all taking it in. #sunsetlovers #seasideviews #landscapephotography

Some beauty can’t be tamed. A tangled silhouette, a horizon set on fire, and the ocean reflecting it all back. Nature’s perfect kind of chaos.

The fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms always brings me back to my childhood trip to Japan. ‘Hanami’ the cherished tradition of flower viewing, reminds us to embrace each moment. #Hanami #CherryBlossom #FlowerViewing #Sakura #naturephotography

This is Mt Rundle in Banff National Park during the forest fires of 2018. Fires are getting worse every year. If you want to visit, come early in the season. I say May or June. #photography #Banff #smoke #ForestFires #Alberta #Canada #EastCoastKin #LandscapePhotography

Mountain waves from Alaska wilderness… Shot from helicopter while flying above Juneau ice field. #bluesky #photography #nature #art #aerial #landscape #sunset #mountains

Snow covered mountains emerging from the the Juneau ice fields, as seen from an helicopter, at sunset.
The mountains shapes creates some sort of curvy wave effect.

The Kind of Silence That Says Everything A still moment on a restless shore. The kind of beauty that doesn’t ask for attention, but keeps you looking anyway. Another shot from last weeks trip to Sombrio Beach 🌊 #VancouverIsland #SombrioBeach #Moody #WestCoastVibes #OceanMist #CoastalWanderer

Ferns reach for the light and swayed. The bridge stood steady leading somewhere I didn’t need to go. Funny how sometimes the best moments happen when we aren’t trying to fill the space, just letting it be. Nature doesn’t rush, but everything still finds its way. Maybe we’re meant to do the sam

Good morning to you, from a very rainy, grey Tokyo. Getting prepped today for a shoot in Nagano-ken tomorrow. It'll be a very early start out from Tokyo tomorrow morning. So this little Alfie will be getting in to bed by 10pm at the very latest. Have a great day ALT for image details Luv&peace ❤️🙏

A line of sea birds sit on a breakwater just out from shore in Rausu, in the Shiretoko area of Hokkaido. That land you see behind them? That's Kunashiri-to (Kunashir Island or Кунаши́р). It's Russia. And just 22kms away.

An old Japanese gentleman stands next to a wooden house on the beach near Rausu, Shiretoko, Japan. I photographed this lovely gent up in Rausu in 2019, during the ten days I was there making and presenting a tv programme for NHKWorld. This was where he lived as a child. The hut is called a "banya" and is the traditional type of fisherman's hut in Shiretoko. This chap now runs a boat tour company.

The raw beauty of the west coast of Vancouver Island. This is 📍Sandcut Beach a place where waterfalls meet the sea, where time slows, and nature speaks in waves and falling water. I captured a moment in time to share with you. #vancouverisland #landscapephotography #waterfallwonders #coastalbeauty
