One of my favourite things is stealing small moments of tranquility, forever frozen in time. This often happens within a fraction of a second because I'm typically out in crowds at events or in the thick of city life. It also requires a lot of patience to capture this stillness in the midst of constant chaos. I took this photo because the alluring beauty of solitude called out to me, not knowing just how quickly things would change shortly after, 3 weeks before Ontario declared a state of emergency. Time was such a precious commodity for me because I didn't have any. Now it's all I have, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to reflect on everything that I'm blessed with. #Toronto #StayHomeToronto #StayHomeOntario #StayHomeCanada #PhysicalDistancing #FlattenTheCurve #PlankTheCurve #COVID19 #CoronaVirus #ThursdayThoughts #PhotoOfTheDay #PicOfTheDay #TopTorontoPhoto #WoodbineBeach #SunsetTO #InstaMood #6ixgrams (at Toronto C•A•N•A•D•A) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-f_HgvB_e0/?igshid=bl7b9xfbm0zj
