How delightful to return to our preferred Cuban resort and find that “Notchie”, our favourite little spayed female cat knew us immediately! We shook our little bag of treats and she bounded to us across the lobby. Such a loving reunion! #CatsOfBlueSky

Breathe it in. I was forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) on Boxing Day - a great day to find peace, slow down and connect with nature while opening all the senses to mindfullness. #photography #peace #nature

A young raccoon taking a quiet break on our upper deck, likely digesting a stolen feast of birdseed. The large paw prints beneath the deck tell a wilder story—hinting that he may have slipped up here to escape a hungry coyote nearby. #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #nature #photography #manitoulinmagic

Sitting on the hot tub cover keeps fluffy butts warm! Our golden doodle trio soaks up the last light of day—no bubbles needed, just warm vibes, wagging tails, and lots of fluff. Manitoulin evenings are better with this crew keeping watch. #DogsOfBlueSky #manitoulinmagic #WinterInCanada

A Manitoulin barn holds its breath against the light,
its quiet geometry stitched into the land.
Above it, the sky unravels
lavender, rose, amber and gold
as if the day is writing its last most tender line.
Snow listens.
Manitoulin glows
between what was and what will be.

On my way home,
the road narrows into quiet,
and Manitoulin exhales in gold and blue.
Trees stand like old storytellers,
the sky listens,
and the day learns how to let go.
Some journeys don’t end—
they soften into sunset.

After flying into our window, this blue jay was a bit stunned — so I rescued, wrapped him up to enjoy the cuddles while I gently stroked his head and sang to him.When he perked up, I took him outside and he flew to the big cedar, squawking again while his friends greeted him! #nature #EastCoastKin

❄️✨ Enough snow already!
Our fluffy golden doodle girl stepped outside for 5 minutes and returned looking like a walking snowball collection.
Nothing sticks to snow quite like doodle fur — she’s nature’s Velcro! Stay cozy, friends… may your snowballs be few and your zoomies be many. 🐶❤️⛄️#DogsOfBlueSky
