Afternoon hike

Wide open spaces are characteristic of Canada, and something that always comes to mind when I think of our country is how vast it is, a huge expanse of land for 33 million people to call home. Although I live in a city, I love the connection to the land that goes along with rural areas. Some of my favourite places are the rolling fields near my family’s cottage where you can lose yourself in an afternoon hike. Paying attention to the flowers growing among the grasses and the noises of the insects makes for a great relaxing experience.
