So we are now past mid January, the time of year when everyone in Canada starts looking for an escape.  An escape from the cold; an escape from the darkness.  Something to get our juices flowing in anticipation of a great day!  The great escape can take the form of many things.  For many, it’s a trip to a warmer climate to get a break from the cold and enjoy some sunshine, and new scenery. For others, it’s enjoying some new activity or taking a course, something that gets those brain cells focused on something interesting. And yet for others, it can be simply looking at winter a little differently…finding that special hike or view spot that reminds us that winter can be colourful and beautiful.  Or maybe, it’s  looking at inspiring art to remind us of beauty all around us!
