This past week I returned from a short but welcome Vagabond Adventure in Ontario’s rugged, windswept and peace-filled Georgian Bay area with a camera and iPhone filled with Group of Seven-ish snaps that wanted to be shared. But how? Today’s technology and...

Let me start this post by saying I HOPE you can forgive me for not writing this past month. Each Sunday I look forward to crafting a short missive that reflects the week gone by. But I have a good excuse! For the past 4 weekends I have been on assignment, camera in...
