Being by water has always been soul-restoring for me – whether at our favourite place to camp in the Experimental Lakes region of Northwestern Ontario, our home away from home on Malcolm Island north of Vancouver Island, or in once-in-a-lifetime places far from home. Water has a way of bringing me rest. I love taking long walks along the shoreline, discovering what the tides and waves have carried in and left behind.
