Standing on the dock of the lake in northern Ontario nature put on a show that captured your eye and took your breathe away. Over the course of perhaps a half an hour the sky went from pinks and blues and mauves to fiery yellows and orange and red. It was spectacular to watch.

It was just by fluke I noticed something moving in our maple tree one afternoon. When I went outside to my surprise I found a beautiful woodpecker sitting in the tree. Later I looked up what kind it was and found it was a typical North American bird called the Pileated Woodpecker.

The train station at dusk. The beautiful colours of the night. Sunset retreat is taken on a retreat I was on with some friends of mine. My superman, my grandson the most wonderful part of being a parent is being a grandparent.
