Wishing you peace at Christmas...and many wonderful adventures.

At this special time of the year, we want very much to acknowledge all who have touched and enriched our lives through this unique medium. To all those who share their stories, their adventures, their dreams and even their struggles, their amazing images, and some darn good "gear" reviews...thank you so much. Your reflections, on both life and the outdoor pursuits we all cherish so much, have created a meaningful connection and a warm bond for which Joan and I are deeply thankful. Over the years, we have become a small "community", and we draw strength from our shared experiences.

May adventures continue to roll in!

To those who visit this little blog regularly, or just now and again, thank you for "listening" and for allowing us to share with you our passion, not only for the world "outside", but for much that makes life on this marvellous planet a "journey", filled with meaning, value, and purpose. We are humbled that folks would stop by to spend a little time with these words, thoughts, and images...they represent a piece of who we are and we deeply value each and every opportunity to share them in this way. Our hope is that there will always be a little something here that touches you, or sparks a thought or a smile.

The essence of celebrations in many traditions at this time of the year is love, an element of the human experience that all people everywhere need in order to feel whole. Our wish this Christmas is for all in our world to feel valued, respected, needed, and cared for - and that this extraordinary "island" planet, will experience only the gentle nurture and stewardship of its human passengers.

We wish you peace, in this very moment, and in the New Year to come...and, of course, many wonderful adventures!

With warm wishes,

Duncan and Joan.


The fabric art (top image) hangs in a prominent place in our home. Created by Joy and Evelyn, it reminds us each and every day of the special environment in which we live, but also of the joy of the "shared adventure". We cherish and are deeply thankful for that reminder.
