This was taken the day leading up to the evening before our power was restored, following the infamous Toronto Ice Storm.

We were outside, chipping away at the ice in front of our house, and the sun had finally made an appearance that day.

It was late afternoon and the light was fantastic.

We had no idea how the night would go for us, as the temperature inside our house was almost as low as outside.

But amidst the struggle and fear, there was beauty to be found.

It’s always the case.

I have to remind myself of that constantly.
