As is usually the case when you’re with the best of friends, you forget to take photos. Here are some of the ones I was able to capture on my recent and brief visit to the maritimes. You’ll notice some pics of the Canada Tree created by Tyler Aspin, the brother of one of my best friends (Meigan Aspin), who died tragically in 2001. The project was shelved and put into storage where it remained until last week when, after much effort by family and friends, was given new life after municipal and provincial governments pledged funding to commemorate and resurrect it. Tyler’s vision of the Canada Tree was to unite all people around the ancient tradition of storytelling, and this notion is so important today as more and more people are loosing touch with it and themselves as they scroll for their stories on their mobile devices.
