The Hendrie Valley Sanctuary

Years, of sharing words and metaphors to understand children’s stories with all of their colourfulness and spiritedness, has built a foundation for exploring the visual colourfulness and spiritedness of nature through images of small landscapes. I fell in love with the naturalistic setting of the Hendrie Valley Sanctuary as a place of reflection and relaxation where I can visually record FEELINGS and IMPRESSIONS of this magnificent wetland revitalization. This is a place that embodies the effort and effectiveness of science, environmental professionals, dedicated staff and strong community support in restoring the wetlands of Lake Ontario. It embodies resiliency and hope of a positive direction in the climate change debate. THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE used falls in the impressionist genre and lends itself to the expression of hope and resiliency that sustains nature, the land we stand on, in all of the chapters that await.
