A Moment in Time
Painting by Heather Harrington | Titled: A Moment in Time | Acrylic on Canvas
This weekend our family went out to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park to take in the beautiful weather. We hiked one of my favorite trails in Port Oneida, called Bay View. The trail leads up a large hill, through an elevated and enchanting forest path that reaches a beautiful overlook of the dunes and Lake Michigan.
Every time we hike this trail, I breath a little deeper and can feel myself slowing down and relaxing a little more. This time was no different. And the warm summer-like air made the hike even better. As I took in the incredible views, I noticed my seven-year-old daughter doing the same. For a moment, time seemed to stand still. She had stopped horsing around with her sisters to gaze out at the brilliant blue water. It was one of those sweet, simple moments, where you realize how fast time is going by—a moment you want to capture and bottle up forever. Despite all the hardships this pandemic has brought, I’m grateful for the simple moments together to slow down, because I know, before long, they will be gone.
This painting, which I completed on Sunday, is from the view looking out at Lake Michigan from the majestic Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. It’s called “A Moment in Time.” I hope you enjoy it!
