new perspective

Before I go on and cover this up or add to it, I want to share with you what eye shadow from the dollar store and nail polish can do. (mixed media abstract)

We can travel or visit the same places, see the same things, i.e. areas of a physical space, but never is it ever the same as the last time we visited. Wait for it…. because nothing stays the same. =^_^= the only constant in life is change.

Today at Chapman Mills, the leaves have already begun to change, small changes, here and there, but change they are.

Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook. I you handle a situation with preconceived notions or prejudices, your judgment will be clouded. Take on each situation with a blank slate, as if seeing it for the first time.

As an artist, this is an important reminder for me. There is an artist in all of us. Face each situation, opportunity, challenge with a creative mind. =^_^=

adventure near water

With the water gently lapping against the ship, the moonlight dancing across your half naked body there is a lull in the passing of time. Nowhere to go, nowhere to be…, what reason is there for this moment, none… none at all.

Except with the daylight … comes reality The boat is still docked, the waves still nudge gently against her, we are not lying onboard, at least not in the state of undress

what is real and what is the dream both are realities for they exist in our heads .. our hearts Always we will see the world through our own personal lens

The beauty is… no one .. can take away our personal realities, so if I love you with all of my heart, all of me….. then nothing and no one can take that away from me.

I will always love you. no more, no less…. today is now … Now is, always and forever….

No more.. no less….

There are always choices in life. We are always faced with a bridge.. doesn’t matter what side of the bridge you are on.. there is always a middle, top and bottom. They all come together in US.

my morning encounter

meet my new “friends”

We are all wonderful in our own way. Although results are important, your effort is what is truly precious
Perfect Liberty 2021.13

I’m testing out a new feeder. Although after seeing what the racoons can do… I now know why so many of my feeders last year got demolished. Guess I will have to plan for the next winter season, rethink the kind of feeders I will need ..

will see if this bicycle feeder will hold up…=^_^=

PS.. last winter I’d arrive to find the feeders looking like a cyclone had gone through. Now I have a better idea of just how they got turned over, ripped apart etc. As cute as these racoons are… those little hands and their cunning I think can do a lot of damage.

Ms Rabbit & friends

this little guy was waiting for me at Mer Bleue

these bandits came as soon as the sunflower seeds hit the ground

for some reason the camera is acting finicky… half of the pictures taken the other day were not focused properly, I recall having trouble with the adjustments at the time.. of course its when I get home and upload them that I see just how wonky some of them turned out. The blue jays don’t strike me as being crisp… but.. and I do see the little chippy.

You can freely express yourself within the rules. Consider rules as a canvas on which to express your specialty artistically

allo, bonjour!

I’m not in a rush, please stand by while I move over when I’m ready

Turtle rescue – one of the regular hikers .. found a turtle on the paved road.. it was very dry and far from water. He picked it up and carried it to a body of water.. (2 km. further down the road)

sharing love and compassion will always be rewarded.

Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

happy faces

silly me, really, silly me

a funny face is what I saw

those eyes and silly smile

made me lips twitch into a wicked grin

I felt the sparkle in my eyes.

and right away I knew

a page had turned

a new chapter has begun

even the story line has changed

yet in truth, the goal is the same

Nature has been making a gradual change

I can smell the changes in the air

hear it in the chatter of the birds

and the nattering of the squirrels and chipmunks

for sure, with each passing day

this current season is in its final run

the anticipation of what is to come

is reflected in the silly faces

……………………….the teachings of the PL Precepts and Principles are like throwing the I Ching stixs

in the Tao we say, if you think you know the TAO, then you really don’t know it at all.

PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror

In the TAO and in PL we Live to Express ONE’s Self (PL Precept #2)

Silly Silly me… what fun I’ve had just being Me

—————- I want to thank everyone who responded to my request for special prayers, it means a lot to me, my appreciation of your actions, your caring, is so heartfelt I am at a loss for words.. some of you have sent me such healing and caring words of encouragement and wisdoms for me to meditate on…. I am very blessed. THANK YOU.

PL Principle # 2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

The world is changing.. (here I go again) the only constant in life is change!

PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being capture by my own thoughts.

Have a great day everyone.. share your smile with the world. Take time for a silly moment – really SMILE..

FRIDAY 6TH

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.
Perfect Liberty 2021.6

I prayed, I reached out, the Universe provided. the power of prayer is amazing.

This tree in the woodlands on a trail I frequent, stands tall .. towering over the other trees, I can always see it in the distance as I make my way on the trail. I was struck with how it just seems to float in the sky, I’ve taken a picture of it almost every time I am there. This obviously means I have lots of pictures of it against the sky, yet I never seem to share this view when I sit down to visit with you.
