As the year ends, I can’t help but look back, and I’ve gathered a few of my favourite photos from 2022 to share with you. I’m feeling lucky and grateful that my family and I had the chance to travel again, to New York City and Germany as well as our beloved Prince Edward Island, and some of our favourite places in our home province, Nova Scotia.

Hi Sarah,
Your photographs are beautiful! Thank-you for sharing your sacred places with us.
I have never been to Halifax, but my father has. He painted this image of the Halifax Harbor. I love this painting and think of it as one of his sacred places.

Health, joy and happiness to you and your family in the coming year!
All the Best,

Thank you, Victoria! For some reason, your father’s painting doesn’t show up here. I’d love to see it–could you send it to me on email, perhaps (semsley at gmail dot com)? Happy New Year to you and yours!

I love your photos. My favourites are the waves and the sunflowers. I hope you had a lovely holiday in Germany with your sister. And hoping we’ll meet sometime soon in the new year!
