Early morning stroll through the woods was amazingly peaceful. I saw another ermine, many squirrels, chipmunks, and I can’t swear to what it was, but it was an animal, bigger than a squirrel, black, sleek with white streaked by me through the thickets, under a raised foot path, and into an area of brush. Because it was a rich black satin and there was a lot of white, I thought of a skunk, but.. skunks I’ve seen in the past, waddle, and have girth, this animal was sleek. What few people I did see were off in the distance, on another trail. Any ideas? It was fast and ran like the ermine does.. a graceful leaping action.

The weather forecasters are calling for even higher temperatures over the next couple of days. There was little to no snow in the woods, with the ongoing balmy weather, we should be seeing a lot of new growth soon. I’ve almost depleted my sunflower seeds.. I left the squirrel to his breakfast, the supply will simply disappear by next visit.
Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

There are many path ways presented to us during our daily living. choose wisely.
A dress for all seasons.. maybe not… but it is a dress to go anywhere and do anything in.
the designer meant it for a “going out” dress.. It is labelled a cocktail dress… however, Alo liked it as a comfortable get around in dress. It wore well when she explored Cloven Forest http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cloven/232/232/23
We found Cloven Forest while looking for a place to get some relaxation in, and get some work done. Cloven Forest is billed as a quiet calm place “that will comfort your soul as you wander beneath a canopy of trees and explore the forest. They( the owners of the sim) encourage photography and the build is wonderfully set out to allow for a lot of pictures both for singles and couples.
Clothes are such an interesting article in our wardrobe. I know there are many, not just myself and some of my friends, who dress for comfort…. you might be someone who shares my dislike having to dress to please someone else. I was never good at accepting having to wear a “uniform”. I am guilty of having once been a Designer -“labels” devotee…. thankfully I outgrew the phase.
The dress or clothing you wear should be # 1 comfortable .. I’m not one to say I only wear #$%, if I see something I like and it will be comfortable to wear, and easy to look after. then its a winner. My problem is that my “character” wants change from day to day. AND of course there is the question of , will naughty, nice, playful, serious, chilling, come into the equation of what to wear and how to wear it.
Think about what you wear, why you wear it, and how you wear it. Does what you come up with, stay the same from day to day, or does it change with your mood, the season, etc.
Yes contemplating the dress, dressing, and how to build the character that is seen visually, is always a good time filler. Another day we can discuss, the rest of the componets that make up your avatar. In SL we call it an avatar, in the RL, its the many personalities we wear from day to day.
How do you see yourself.
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.
What can I say, I went out without a camera, the Nikon and the Canon were left hanging on their hooks… never even entered my mind to have them with me. Then I found myself alone in the sun with two Canada Geese who were happy to spend time with me preening and dining. I got to see the underside of the bird as it dived down to forage from the lake bed. No camera and none of my photographer friends in sight. Thankfully I had my cell (Samsung) so I did manage a couple of pictures, and I took a couple of videos.. however, I have no idea how to transfer them from the phone to my PC… eventually.. I’ll get there. =^_^=
An hour on my own with them before other humans came along, and they took flight. There is something to be said about experiencing the “wild” and the natural “harmonies” that abound in nature with out the jarring sounds that humans and their “toys” make.
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 was walking away from the PC, out of my office when I saw Shirley’s lastest post, she and her husband are on a road trip .. and these are a couple of pictures she shared. Living in a city like I do, a big enough city, but a city non-the-less, I would love to be able to stand by the water’s edge and look out across a vast expanse of not empty space, but not city streets, high rises and the like. instead, water, hills, open skies.
The reality is, I have been by the ocean many times, both on the east coast and west coasts of both Canada and the USA. I have known that experience, that exhilaration of looking out into “forever” .. hearing the waves rolling/crashing in. I’ve stood high on the cliffs in CA. looking down at otters playing and basking in the sun… I’ve skated the boardwalks in Venice, CA, walked the sandy beaches along the coast in Florida. that was then, not now.. and I miss it. I’ve even experienced a salmon fishing boat off the harbour in Vancouver, BC. and must not forget the smell of fish and fresh lobster when I lived in Nova Scotia.
I was going to push these feelings aside .. then realized that it is part of life, my life.,, her pictures reminded me of other moments in my life, and for a moment I felt a tug at the heart strings.
It’s OK. to remember, and its OK, to want to relive those moments, of course we can’t, BUT the memories are good, and they sure were moments well lived.
I want never to forget all the blessings in my life.
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 .

When you least expect it. The sun will shine, a friend will call or drop in (these days it will be connect/text) Always you will know you are not alone, you need only be open to the Universe around you. Oyashikiri
Remember as you begin another work week, or just starting a new week of ??? There is a whole wide world out there waiting to be discovered.
Sitting high above you, somewhere where you may not see
Will be a pair of eyes watching out for you. During the day you will hear the various songs of the many winged angels as they go about their business, calling out, sharing with you their joy and sense of freedom as they wing their way across the sky.
Your surroundings are a reflection of YOU.
PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror – Tudo e espelho – Todo es espejo
Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understanding each other.
Perfect Liberty 2021.5
Sometimes, one is engulfed in a sadness or an over powering emotion that simply defies definition. There is not always a black and white solution. A caring partner/listener will do his/her best to not only listen to what is being said, but to read between the lines, about what is not being said.
The longer a friendship exists, the more the other person can understand and or relate to what their friend is going through, how much that person will actually “say out loud” and /or even acknowledge. Caring isn’t something we can pretend to do, sincerity in word/action is something that cannot be “faked”.
“Listen” and “see” with careful attention and accept each other. Focus your “eyes” and “ears” towards the expression of others without preconceived notions. Then you will be able to see their true intentions.
Energy springs from your smile. A smile makes you and others cheerful and energetic.

These two horses are out every morning when I go into the woodland. Most days they are side by side, certainly not far from each other. This was the first time I’ve seen them actually grooming each other. I had to pull over, put on the 4 way flashers and get out … They were showing such affection I wanted to capture the moment. It was a beautiful moment. Again a first for me. I have never been around horses much, I only got to see them from a distance. This past year, I would see these horses every day.. in the fall I’d roll my window down and call out hello. That they were part of my everyday, means they are no longer strangers. Seeing such gentleness from these big animals made my heart sing. It is such moments that I call out in happiness… Life is Good.
Smiles, share a kindness, enjoy the beauty in this wonderful world we live in. Too much these days is focused on negativity. Change the direction of your thoughts when you feel them wandering into the shadows. because, I repeat LIFE IS GOOD!
PL Precept #11 Always be with God. Confie todo a Dios Faca tudo confiando em Deus
My attentions were not wanted. I can understand atho’ bright and sunny, there was a 30- 40 kmph wind happening. She had found a nice warm patch, the squirrels and chipmunks had scattered when I arrived.. it was peaceful and calm, I was an intrusion.
two feeders left, I have enough feed for another visit.
I had a very productive morning laid out, since the province is going on a shut down after midnight tonight, I thought to get some groceries in. Especially after my surgery come middle of the month, I am told I will not want or be able to do much for the first week or so. (activities, ie. running for groceries etc.) I will only be able to deal with soft food, should I have an appetite at all. However, that said, I do need to keep my body fed, I am diabetic and simply not eating is not an option.
Finding that the shops were all closed today, open tomorrow (with limitations) I took the time to play with my camera. At Dewberry it was one giant wind tunnel, I didn’t stay long, I filled the feeders, said hello to my male and female grosbeak that came to say hello.. and left. The above pictures were taken at Mer Bleue. The sky was alive with blue jays, I could see the flashes of white as they flew from tree branch to tree branch high in the surrounding trees. There were few of the smaller birds around this morning, the high winds could have been a factor.
Be a person who can say “I like it” Find what moves you the most and express your appreciation.
