Good morning, this being the Canadian Thanksgiving, I wanted to feature a wild turkey, I tried on my own, but … you all know the little varmints eluded me. Anne graciously let me browse her pictures on her site, I found this wonderful portrait of a Wild Turkey. So ladies and gents! a wild Turkey!!

Reminder, this is Thanksgiving week-end, pray for those who need our support that they will have the strength to work through whatever they are going through.. and show gratitude for all the blessings we have had this past year.
This morning I took off to find the wild turkeys, instead I found a group of crows.. there were only 4 – 6 of them.. I was pleased to see them.. you know I love my crows.
There were not familiar to me. I was in a different part of the city, they kept their distance. At least with this camera I could get a little closer to them.
I love the look on this fellow. He kept his distance, but didn’t fly off after I put out a bribe or two =^_^=

Life is for living. Make each moment of our day count.. Remember it is always important to take time for YOU. Self Care these days is paramount. This is a lesson I have to pay heed to myself, we tend to sometimes overdo… Seeing the crows today, when I was expecting wild turkeys was an “ah ha” moment, at first I was disappointed, then I realized .. crows are my favourite birds, I love crows.. and here they were just waiting…. it was an opportunity to make like the willow/bamboo and go with what was presented to me… Enjoy the crows … make new friends.. everything happens for a reason.!
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

“To do” or “not to do” There is only one way. Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.

traded Canon and my Nikon in for a newer Nikon -=^_^=
Standing still in one place, looking around… simply taking in what was around me. I do this often, usually I am in another area of the Mer Bleue Conservation forest/bog land. The other day I drove down to a dead end road where I went last year with one of my dogs, the brush and growth had completely hidden the entrance to a seldom used trail. There was no way to even know that the trail was there. I had the morning to myself, it was quiet, and I was inspired to “take action”.. I got out my pruners, put on gloves and headed into the brush. I returned yesterday to get a picture .. wish I had taken one before I began this “meditation”.. but hindsight is … you know the saying.. =^_^=.
I worked my way down the trail for about the length of half a city block. Cutting and tossing the brush to one side. There is something very satisfying about doing such a physical task. There was a light rain when I returned yesterday with my camera.. so I didn’t venture down into the bush, the leaves were still heavy with rain drops. But… I will be returning.
tended gardens are beautiful, but so are the natural community of plants that grow wild in our woodlands.
There will always be a way. If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that you had not considered before.

Always pray to become a better person. If you are content with the status quo, your progress will stop. Always seek for ways to improve yourself and continue to move forward one step at a time.

Yesterday when I went back to the “forgotten” trail, there was an area that was blocked with huge cement blocks.. there was a place for me to walk thru so I did.. that is where I found the torn up vegetation you see above. It was a place where it looked like something had been started, a clean up of sorts and then abandoned??
Everywhere one looks today, you can visually see that the seasons are changing. Summer has begun its departure, the colours of fall are slowly taking over. The air is fresher and cooler especially in the mornings and evenings.
Let’s respond clearly. Giving a proper response shows consideration towards others.
Was very impressed with how diligently they processed visitors coming in, we needed proof of vaccines, government ID card, and our temperatures taken before being allowed in. Floors were clearly marked with signs showing spacing, the restaurant was divided in a way that every one had plenty of personal space. Prior to going up for food, there were gloves ready for us to put on, and hand sanitizer set up for easy access. There was no handling of food without gloves, which were to be replaced each time you went up for food. Everyone wore masks unless you were seated at your table.
A wonderful experience shared with family and friends.. my last BD outing for the month. I cannot say that this year my birthday was not celebrated in style. Thank you everyone!!!
Tomorrow Monday 27th.
It’s okay to think “this is where it starts” There is always a turning point. It’s important what you do from now.
