A magic lurking within

I always thought there is no way to capture that majesty that is so strong within a forest, like you just want to bottle up the lush stillness to keep forever. It is perfect. There is something about just one small few metres of an entire shoreline that draws you in and almost grabs you to keep you near, and then the light hits it just right and it’s as close to keeping something tangible from it as I’ve found, but still a long way from those real moments.

This sunset gave chills to my arms. Almost a carbon copy of summer skies from cottage country in Ontario. Sure, some mosquitos and flies, but nothing a short bath in repellant can’t help to fix. Really though, this overwhelming stillness and softness in the sky - pastel colours, a storm threatening on one side and this surreal sunset on the other, actually warm air - really - I think we had 27°C today, and total quiet.

What a beautiful life to worry not of the time, if it’s 9pm or 1am. It doesn’t matter. The world around just becomes more quiet and more beautiful, the sky ever changing.

In previous years, I always feel ready for the dark nights to return and for winter to come back but, and despite being just over summer solstice, it’s different this year. I really wish this never ends.
