Time away from the city enjoying and exploring nature is something everyone should experience during the summer.
Nothing beats viewing a sunset over the water, looking into a crackling fire or watching critters move around or, in the case of a lazy seal, not move at all.
My family enjoys the water at Sandbanks Provincial Park in Prince Edward, Ont., in September 2023.
Nighttime offers the sounds of waves and the wind in trees as my family camps out in Sandbanks Provincial Park in August 2023.
My daughter Georgian enjoys the wind coming off of Georgian Bay at Awenda Provincial Park in July 2023. The location inspired her name.
My daughter Georgian lies on the rocks on the banks of the St. Lawrence River to study a sleeping seal.
The sleeping seal gives my wife Gilliane the opportunity to paint a watercolour.
