how my perspective has changed (part 5) - pituitary brain tumor journey
Since my pituitary macroadenoma diagnoses, my perspective on several things has changed. These are just a few of my reflections on what I feel no longer matters anymore and what I now value as a result of having experienced a pituitary brain tumor.
This video is part five of a multi-part series that I have been sharing about my experience, thank you for following along.
If you have any questions about my story or have experienced a pituitary adenoma yourself, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPOL6a9DMNk
Last night's lightning storm over Kaslo and most of the West Kootenays did not disappoint. There wasn't much for thunder, but the lightning was pretty much non stop for several hours. I'm glad I decided to head out there and brave the storm instead of crawling into bed for the night.

What can we learn from these hushed and reticent giants? Most of these trees have found the strength to survive everything they’ve been challenged to overcome in their lifetime. Is there a parallel in our own lived experience?
This film was captured using the Sony FX3 with the Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens and a Tiffen Black Pro-Mist 1/4 Filter.
Thank you Brandy for helping me get my words in order with your incredible talent as a writer.

We finally inflated our Aquaglide standup paddle boards for the first time and took them on their maiden voyages out onto Kootenay Lake at the Kaslo Bay. While the both of us are pretty new to standup paddle boarding, our experience getting out on the water and finding out footing for the first time was a VERY positive one!
Join us on our very first paddle around the Bay and through the boat garages of the Kaslo Marina - it is a beautiful and serene adventure. Enjoy!

During the spring months when the water level is at its lowest, Duncan Lake is a pretty unique place to explore with its extremely rocky shoreline. If you ever have the opportunity when the water is low, I highly recommend exploring this remote and beautiful lake, the scenery is incredible! Be aware though when the water is low there are some very shallow areas in this lake with an abundance of tree stumps just below the surface. We were in a jet boat which allowed us to explore the shallow waters. A huge shout out to Larry Chambers for taking me out on his boat! This man is a legend and you can tell he's truly in his element in the outdoors.
I am available for hire to document your outdoor adventures!

I went out for an afternoon kayak on Kootenay Lake and came across the most spectacular rock wall towering out from the depths of the crystal clear water. Enjoy this short video of my paddle along the wall.

I recently received a tip about a bald eagle nest located along Kootenay Lake, so I went to go and check it out. Shortly after I found it, however, the eagles took off and didn't seem to be returning any time soon, so I decided to make my way home.
I decided to take a back road which I don't normally take, and as luck would have it, I came across a second nest where I was able to capture some better footage and photos of this eagle family instead.
Enjoy!
This wildlife footage was filmed on the Sony FX3 with the Sony 200-600mm lens.
