“Nature always wears the colours of the spirit.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is something deeply inspiring about the natural colours of Newfoundland that speak to me. The burgundy of the autumn blueberry bushes, the pastel tones of the stones on the shore, the bright wildflowers peeping out from rocks and trees, the earth tones of lichen and undergrowth in the forest woods, the purple and silver of a mussel shell on the beach, the greys and browns of worn wood or pier pilings … it is magical. So much beauty in the simple things, so many signs of a Creator. The emphasis of sunlight dappling through to the forest floor, the muting effect of a foggy day, the accentuation of the glistening rain on a leaf – all add to the wonder.

“The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts…”
