See why I treasure my photographer friends.. I was at Sarsaparilla Trail this morning, this is where I had my wonderful morning walk. This is where I met Num months back when he graciously gave me permissions to use some of his photos.. I really admire these photographers who in the middle of all the wonderful wonders that abound in the woodlands, they can find and capture such wonderful pictures. Doesn’t this little guy have the cutest face! thank you Num!!
I’m like the hound dog, nose to the ground, keen and wide eyed with anticipation of the hidden mysteries from beyond =^_^=
It is our differences that make us unique individuals, and allow for the wonderful panorama of sights and sounds that we can feast on in our daily living. Celebrate the journey… Enjoy life as it is presented to you. Always there is a lesson to be learned.
The past leads to now and now leads to the future. Life is an accumulation of moments! Cherish each one

On the 11th of each month, we celebrate Ancestor’s Day.. service will be at 10 a.m.
look up high into the skyI had an idea . I lay on the bench and took a picture of the sky over my head
it was so peaceful and quiet. Taking pictures while on my back wasn’t fun though.. so i sat up for this last one, the direction from whence I’d come.this is what lay ahead
You can see, the signs of fresh minty green as the plants take in the longer days of sunshine and the balmier weather.
For the sale of others, society, and world peace. Always live keeping in mind everything you do is for the sake of others, society and world peace.
I don’t usually leave my shadow in the picture, but.. I wanted you to see how close these ducks were to me.. they came up from behind me.. I moved over to let them by, then followed till I had to pick up the pace. They were in no hurry.
next came these two buddies.. strolling along like they had all day .. which of course they do…
not all my new friends were feathered.
My first visit to Mud Lake… light bulb moment.. if you walk into the woods, and walk for over an hour one way, guess what.. it is going to be the same amount of time coming back. A short walk becomes. a “good” hike.. Going out it is all new, you re snapping pictures and just soaking it all in. Coming back, the mantra is.. coffee, coffee.. and gosh it’s hot.. gotta find a way to carry the vest and roll up the sleeves. Beep beep, out of the way, this gal wants to get to her car and her ice coffee!
Each moment is a turning point. Postamo-nos sempre na bifurcaao entre o bem e o mal. Siemppre esdtamos ante la bifurcacion del bien y del mal.
Perfect Liberty, Perceitos da PL # 18 Perceptos de PL
A door, a single door, an inexpensive find, a wanted door, BUT an “I can’t have ” door. Imagine productively searching the aisles for how to get to what I was after without being around people. I saw an opening and headed that way, it was a bit of a detour but I would get to the fresh breads/baking, and could go towards dog/animal foods later.. Aimed the cart for the open space and stopped in my tracks. A DOOR.. a blank wooden door, a faux barn door complete with the hardware. A door chaser, an artist, a “covid” bored adult with time on my hands.. A door I could bring home.. NOT!! I am in cutting back, giving away, declutter mode.. a blank door.. OMG what to do. I got out my camera and took a picture while I stood fixated on the spot. Oh dear, Oh dear, I can’t bring it home, try as I might I just have no where to put it. A barn door is so out of character for a small war time house. so guys and gals, the door is getting featured in today’s THURSDAY DOORS.
No competition from me with a door already rich with character, an oldie or a new found “treasure” I am giving it a place all to itself. Let your imagination go wild, this door has so much potential, endless possibilities.. I’d say it can be useful as well as a blank canvas.
Next week I’ll be back with more doors, meanwhile, I told this door, it would have a place today where someone else might also appreciate it.. btw.. while I stood contemplating this beautiful door, the rest of the activity in the store, and you know a Costco can be busy, simply faded and disappeared.
Doors are “magic” come up to one, walk thru one, a whole new “moment” awaits you.
Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

Don’t be swayed by the past; It’s what you do from now on that counts. Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look towards the future and start with a fresh outlook.

PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential – Capte o ponto central. – Capte el punto central
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.

There are many path ways presented to us during our daily living. choose wisely.
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 .

Aceite, justamente por es tar atarefado. Take on the task even though you’re busy. Eastar ocupado significa estar sendo necessario. You’re busy because you are needed.

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.
