Ohmigosh, today is a beautiful, sunshiney, happy day.  It is 15.7℃ with the softest, warmest breeze teasing my cheeks.

My soul was craving fresh air and sunshine and a meander along the lake was the perfect remedy.  I decided on Lucas Point Park which is part of the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail. I often walk and shoot here because it is not well-used and I do so enjoy need my solitude.

“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature.
It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”*

Lake Ontario forms the southernmost border of Northumberland County.  My town, Cobourg, sits in the centre of my county’s shoreline.  The waterfront draws walkers, joggers, cyclists, paddlers, bathers and picnickers from all over southern Ontario because of its beauty and accessibility.

For me personally, it’s vastness and ever-changing appearance and temperament provide great scope for contemplation, and for measuring the depth of my own nature.  It is always balancing and restorative.

Lake Ontario, from Lucas Point Park, looking west, a view that always lifts my spirits, is today’s tiny beautiful moment.
