Thousand Islands Life, River Gift to TI Life

Dear Susie,

As you know, my love of the River is extremely strong, to the point that I find myself emotional when I sit in front of my computer and edit my River photos and videos. A couple of months ago, I took footage of Rock Island Lighthouse and the surrounding islands during a late afternoon when the sun began changing everything to a golden hue.

My emotions were running rampant during the editing process. Finally, after I finished, I repeatedly watched the video, and said, "I think I have something! And I want to share it with everyone!"

But my website does not get the followers needed, so I thought of you and Thousand Islands Life Magazine. I know you have a huge following, and I hope you can share my video with our special River community for everyone to enjoy.

Sincerely,
Andy

Rock Island Lighthouse and surrounding islands basking in the setting sun. November 8, 2022. I just ask three things: turn it up as the music plays a huge part, watch the whole thing (5 mins), and please share! Thanks, Andrew Kane (Feather in Flight Productions)

Dear Andy

Sigh, how do I say thank you on behalf of myself, our TI Life Team, and most of all our readers? First, I smile when I see you wrote that you get emotional. We all do in our own way. This fall, as we closed up the island, I actually ran back and hugged a post of our house. Then I tried to look around to ensure I saw the last shoal always marked by TIA in the summer, and of course, I looked for some wildlife to wish a happy winter.

You have given so many of us delight in your amazing River photography; this video is no exception.

All the best in 2023.

Susie (Editor, TI Life)

TI Life readers were introduced to Andrew Kane by author Raymond Kowalski's "Andrew Kane: His Photography - His Art, His Passion and His Life" in March 2021 issue. Many Islanders are fortunate to have purchased his book. "My Love of the River, a Photo Book of the Thousand Islands." It too, is a gift to the River.
