Shadow art @ Mud Lake

PL Precept # 1 Life is Art

This morning I visited Mud Lake, I got there while the birds were still sunning themselves.. Shortly after I arrived, they took to the water.

My good comes from everywhere and everyone.. All is well in my world…

You can heal your life (Louise L. Hay)

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

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective. The things that happen in your life are neither good or bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate

Do you always say what you are thinking? Are your reactions always “honest”??

Have a great start to the week everyone!

Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced.

Let’s respond clearly. Giving a proper response shows consideration towards others.

Happiness is spending time with the wildlife that was taking advantage of a beautiful day. The young birds that had been wee ones last time I visited the island are now young adolescents. (Bates island)

texture

Spent the time this morning capturing the different textures in the landscapes that I was exploring. Overcast and very humid. At times the air was still and stifling, but when a breeze whipped up a bit of mischief if was wonderful.

“I’ll do it later. No, I’ll do it now” To make progress, do anything while it is still fresh.

This little guy kept hoping for a treat… at one point I thought he would try walking up my pant leg.

I found some wonderful samples of Lime stone… I got to explore a part of a trail I had not been on yet… last time I was there it was too muddy. West end NCC off Moodie. I actually wore the mosquito netting today, it looks hideous, but it works!

She didn’t run away, that made me happy, we just kind of stayed in one place, aware of each other. She did after a minute or two continue with her munching. Ignoring me. It was only when we heard people approaching that she began to move away.

It is moments like this that make my early morning walks worthwhile. it isn’t the picture but the moment spent just being with this rabbit was special. I think that the animals that stay near the pathways, get to know the different visitors. They can tell our walk, the sound of our foot fall on the earth. (our stride,) I’m sure they watch us from their vantage points. Those of us who are regulars, they come to know and remember us.

Life is Good!

love rocks

I’ve yet to meet a rock I’ve not liked. They can be hard to get to know, but always they have a story to tell. Much like trees, the longer they are around, the more ambiance they pick up and over time, they are works of art. Everything in life tells a story, yesterday was a fascinating day, I had a lot of new experiences, and met a lot of new rocks and trees that teased me with their history.

Discovering far away places, is great, except didn’t get my walking in, so I’m off this morning to make up for the steps I missed yesterday.

Today’s calendar..

You will find joy when you immerse yourself in your task. when you face your tasks with a can do attitude, you will be filled with enthusiasm and inspiration.

Lazy day by the river

I wanted so badly to be on the water. The kayaks drifting along were such a tease to my imagination. Had I had water proof footwear I would have walked in the water.. it was so inviting. there are no swimming signs. A place to sit on the water’s edge with feet in the water.. ahhhh just the thought is enticing…. I looked for a suitable place, but couldn’t find one. The wild parsnip, upper left corner, is poisonous, there is a big sign that says to keep away, & not touch it. Very pretty though. The bird that I see and hear the most of is the red wing black bird. It is everywhere, unfortunately my camera doesn’t zoom in enough to catch it, but I do see it almost in and around every corner.

Change your mind, thinking “It will be alright” Do the best you can without being overly attached.

overcast & rain

It’s okay! God is watching over you. Things turn out for the best. Don’t be captured by momentary troubles but continue doing everything with sincerity.

A note. I have been walking now with an app for about 3 weeks, today I achieved the 100K “medal”.. That felt rather good to read that on the app. I try to do about 2 miles a day. Why it is giving me the medal in K. I don’t know. But.. it sounds good.. It will give me the incentive to keep going.

Even though it was raining, I kept a steady pace, and actually incorporated arm movements, and high knee stepping into the walk. I wasn’t distracted by “picture taking” or using my walking stick(s). There are benefits to walking in the rain! =^_^=

I found out today, the little cut out there along the side, is where the baby turtles can leave the shelter when they are ready to embark on their journey of life. Seems the mother turtle, once she finds a place to drop her eggs, simply moves on with her life. ( see previous blog)

Doors -functional, practical

This restaurant is one I pass almost every day.. They have had been closed for most of the year, like other restaurants, they have had take out, but little else. The owner(s) decided to build a patio all along the side of the building. The truck has been its mascot since the new owners took over. It has been patiently waiting for the patio to be done and the business going again. It is at a somewhat busy intersection, hard to just stop and take photos, but the other day, I managed to pull in .. the workman who had been working on the patio were no longer all parked outside.. I was able to stop and get out.. Isn’t she a beauty.

Thursday Doors is a weekly feature, for more doors, visit the host site, Dan’s No Facilities – todays link https://nofacilities.com/2021/06/17/spring-leftovers/

Make today a different day. Instead of doing the same old thing, be creative and do things to improve your day.
