Photos of the Week: February 22

Posted in Photo of the weekTagged ,

“Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions.” – Henri Nouwen

Our photos this week come from our mid-winter break time on Whidbey Island. Mr D is a young naturalist. Cooper, not so much, but he’ll happily run about in nature.

The AirBnB cabin we rent is cozy which is good because the weather wasn’t great.

So we did a lot of indoor activities like drawing and snuggling. My friend, Eric, took the kids bowling. I think we’ve all done that stand on one leg and lean move Mr D is demonstrating when we want the ball to curve. Right?

We also lit things on fire. But only things that were supposed to be on fire — as long as marshmallows count.

Whidbey Island has really neat place called the Earth Sanctuary. It combines being a sanctuary for birds with some great meditative spots for humans. We walked the labyrinth, observed the wildlife, and tried to cultivate a peaceful spirit.

In that peaceful spirit, here are some prayer wheels and the sign of the week.

  5. I love the thoughtful questions at the beginning, they set the tone for this whole post and looks like you all lived up to them. I’d love to visit that island someday

    1. And more of that rain this weekend. I was so happy this morning when I went to walk Cooper that I caught a window of dry calm! Hope you and Suki are staying dry!

  18. Fabulous…every bit…but I’ve gotta say…your mirror image-like pic of the geese is really cool. (And it takes a lot for me to say that, given that your trio of Cooper, Mr. D. and Miss O are super scene-stealers in every image!) xo! 🥰

  34. Wonderful photos, Wynne, and I love Henri Nouwen. His book Spiritual Direction is one of the books on my shelf that I review often. I think Cooper is mad at you and doesn’t want his picture taken this time—he looks so serious. 😂
