Welcome to our blog!  This is our first posting and it is fitting that it is on the Power To Be Adventure Therapy Society as our mutual involvement with this great organization is one of the ways we first met.  We have been providing images for PTB’s events and promotions for a few years now and we also have the great pleasure of spending our thursday afternoons with with the kids of the Fiddlehead program.  Recently we spent a sunny afternoon with Mary and her son along with all the farm animals out at Mary’s Therapeutic Farm and Sanctuary.  This is a beautiful property located above Goldstream Provincial Park dedicated to connecting people with the healing spirit of animals.  It was a really special day watching the kids overcome fears, completely embrace the animals, and even enjoy collecting horse muffins!  We busted out our new lens baby and here are the results.
