love my new camera

I’m sure the more I use it, the more I play around with it, the more enthralled I’ll be.

chop suey Thursday

Though we travel. . . to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If one advances confidently in the direction of one’s dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with success unexpected in common hours

Henry David Thoreau

Let’s cherish the milestones of life… There are various milestones in our lives. The entrance ceremony, graduation ceremony, wedding … these important life milestones are great opportunities to change your mind, and like bamboo, people grow up at milestones.

Thursday doors

Some doors are more inviting than others.. Photographer Ian Mitchell has been out exploring.. he’s found some interesting doors for us.

Mind you Ian, I’m not sure that these doors are what I would call welcoming, but you did find us a red door in Quebec city.

love the door and the old stone building it adorns.

You’re happy, I’m happy. Have the mindset of “good for you, good for me”. Express yourself in a way that makes others happy.

I’m off to try and catch a glimpse of the wild turkeys that I’m told like to hang out in a parking lot in the very, very west end. If I’m lucky you will see pictures of them soon. I was told they are there very early, so dear readers.. have a grand day.. enjoy the fall weather ..

Till soon – Oyashikiri

Quiet zone

Yesterday as we drove towards our destination, we were greeted along the way with the colour changing of the leaves here in Canada where I live. When I returned and visited my e-mails, there was a message from my dear friend in Japan .. this is along her drive when she is returning home.. very different scenery from me. Took me back to when I was visiting in Japan, and how I marvelled at the landscapes, and visions that were all so new to me. I had never seen rice paddies and was totally enchanted by them when I walked into the town and saw that the land behind houses was used for growing rice, not gardens and backyards like we see here.

Her pictures reminded me of how differently other people live, depending on where they are located in the world. Yet, tho’ we live separated by miles (physical distance) our hearts and minds are in sync, and we share wonderful friendships.

My friend in Brazil sends me the most amazing pictures of the blossoms that she finds in and around her home, it can be cold and snow here and in my mail will arrive the brilliant colours of a tropical flower.. always accompanied by the wonderful sage lessons of PL. PL (Perfect Liberty) is a philosophy that is practiced all around the world, it keeps us all connected and accompanied along our spiritual paths, and in our day to day lives.

Love, caring, thoughtfulness, the joy of sharing, that is Universal, when we share in the joys of love, we take another step towards World Peace. there is no one definition for Love, it simply IS… have yourself an amazing day!

Don’t think “I can’t” from the start. Begin by taking the first step, then you’ll be able to see what comes next and a path will open.

wild turkeys

Do you see them? even one of them? no.. neither did I.. There were 4 of them bold as brass crossing the road, I saw them plain as day… slowed and stopped. reached for my camera, turned off the car, quietly opened the door, Poof, the little beggars scurried faster and disappeared. I searched all along the area they disappeared.. Nothing. Before the snow falls I hope to capture at least one to show you.

Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understanding each other.

Days are getting shorter, the weather is dipping into what I call, “cooler”. I love it.

Energy springs from your smile. A smile makes you and others cheerful and energetic.

Saturday 2nd.

I wore my new camera .. it can’t be worn like the older camera, this one is too big to keep on while I’m driving, so it was on and off. By the end of my adventure, I was glad to bring it in to charge and let it rest. It was heavy!!! I’ll get used to it.

Be a person who can say “I like it!” find what moves you the most and express your appreciation.

Lesson from Japan translated – Execution comes first – Even if you want to make a good work, you can’t make a work just by feeling it. It is a prerequisite to do your best in the way. Do whatever you notice immediately (realize) do it right away.

Woke up to rain today, but the birds still calling… have a great day whatever your plans…

Till soon

Quebec

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Quebec has to be the most beautiful Province in Canada. BC is great and so is Nfld. but Quebec has this rustic charm that never fails to enchant. AND because the further inland you go in the Province, the more you experience the cultural difference, the feeling of being “elsewhere” (other than in English Canada) is front and centre. If you ever want a special experience, visit “la Belle Province” – not for the big city experience tho’, unless you visit Montreal or Quebec City, but for geographical landscapes,(nature) rivers, lakes, skiing (winter) hunting/fishing during the right seasons… it is a breath of fresh air.

Always pray “for the happiness of others and Society’ Praying only for your own wishes is not the true way we should be. Strive to do things for the sake of others, and pray for their happiness as well.

1st of October

the blush of change

Depending on where you are in the city and surrounding areas, the colours are beginning to deepen .. In some areas, there is a rainbow of colour, yet you drive out west of the downtown core and the greens are still dominant. Change is on its way, you can feel it in the air, smell it on the breeze that brings a chill and hovers before drifting off. The Robins are being social, coming out and being more present around us when we are on the trails. Every day I hear the sound of the crows as they inspect and search out their winter “resorts”… yesterday another photographer was patiently waiting for a “big” as she called it, wood pecker that had been frequenting the feeder area.

PL Precept 7 Everything exists in relativity….

PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop.

Today being the 1st, in PL it is when the PL ceremony for Peace is performed – today at 10 a.m. if you can’t make it to church, please take a moment to pray for world peace. Remember to show appreciation and give thanks for yesterday, and NOW.

Each person’s peace leads to world peace. First of all, you have to be happy. That happiness will spread and be the foundation of World Peace.

You have the opportunity every day to start a new canvas..

I appreciate YOU.
