In contemplation of the perfectly imperfect and post 19/100 for the #100DaysofFacingtheCoast project. One of the things I am most enjoying about participating in this project spearheaded by @cascadiastoryproject is how it has given me pause to reflect on what I love about living here. It has helped refocus my attention to the more positive aspects of my local environment and diminish the negativity that seeps in when we don't connect with our spaces. I took this image yesterday while walking the dyke trial along Boundary Bay, south of Vancouver, a place I have been haunting the last few months. Not the prettiest place as ocean shores go, but full of life in its own right and a place where I feel farther away from things even though part of the trail borders a major highway. I saw this leaf on the ground, perfectly positioned in this small patch of light and it seemed a fitting expression, for me, of this experience. #vancouver #leafontheground #solitarymoment #salishsea
