When you reach the edge of NOW. The Province of Quebec has many such moments, it is only when you drive through the province beyond the built up areas, when you park, get out and explore. You can find a wonderland of simplicity that can transport the viewer to another time. An example of Nature at her best. In this photo, he* shares a timeless moment. . (*Dave Renz)
I know many a writer who will find inspiration in this photo. It certainly stirred my imagination..

Meet my newest “friend”… yesterday I got to have a wonderful “away” adventure .. Having a friend who will drive and give me a chance to just “ramble” and let my “mind” wander .. take pictures… and basically just chill…. is an amazing way to share a few hours. Boniway is such a friend… it was so wonderful … I got to ohhh and awww at the wonderful animals who came up to the car to greet us… Miss piglet here was such a personality. AND the baby piglets who were trailing around behind her…were just the cutest.
We were favoured with gorgeous weather. The sun shone bright the weather itself was cool and refreshing…. a big enough breeze that there were no mosquitos .. at least… we didn’t encounter any. It was a day of blessings. I even got to cross the river on the ferry, not once but twice. Much appreciation and gratitude in a day makes for a perfect day. Boni… you were super fantastic in your generosity of spirit…thank YOU.

The magnolia is trying, it really is… the up and down temperatures, the aging of the tree, and the lack of proper nutrition in the soil… It is doing the best it can. the blooms come and seldom last more than a day or two…
The ducks are happily regrouping on the water, and along the shores.. they are loving the sunshine and the feeling of the fresh spring breezes ruffling t heir feathers. There is promise in the air.
The path to achievement is “TO START WITH WHAT YOU AN DO” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. This will pave the way for achievement.

This is Tulip season here in the Nation’s Capital. Aren’t they beautiful. the tulip festival is celebrated every year with an amazing display of tulips that come from the Nederland’s. All over the city, you can see tulips in the parks and in gardens.
Make the best use of materials and money. You can do different things as materials and money play their roles. How to make them work is important.
Top of the morning to you Update on the post of the other day, where I showed the garbage strewn all over a public area.. (if you need a reminder this was the post with the litter strewn all over.. https://dymoonblog.com/2023/05/09/crazy-antics/ ) the above pictures show you the scene I found when I returned yesterday. The area had been cleaned up.. the birds could be heard happily singing … the sun shone bright… it was a happy moment. Don’t know who took action, I posted and sent the link to the mayor and a dozen or so councillors along with a few media links.. Whatever, whoever, the Universe worked its magic…The place is once again a serene and beautiful welcoming environment. Oyashikiri.

Keeper is doing much better. She is showing interest in life and the world around her. She even came to bed last night and slept with Velcro and I. I was thrilled. I got my booster shot yesterday, so I was glad for an early night.
If you are still not sure if the mosquitoes are out… They are! so are the black flies. The birds who feed on insects must be in heaven. The woods are teeming with the whirring and buzzing sound of greedy hungry flesh eaters. Ours locally are ugly and savage biters.
Long sleeves, light colours, stay protected, especially if your sensitive to their venom/sting. It will be shorter season, they must know it, and are out there making up for lost time. Still.. weather is good, skies are bright.. . enjoy the outdoors… dress accordingly if you go into the woodlands, be prepared.
Have an age free life. It is not a number its about energy – balance – and – Joy.
Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking. There are different points of view and ways of thinking which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.
Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. try to work on things without being overly concerned.
Good morning dear friends… It is a sunny day in the woods, and the little squirrels are up to their usual mischief. This little one, is determined to show me her skills and determination at getting at the bits of suet she can get at. We have an ongoing conversation, with her ignoring me most of the time, she no longer natters at me but she does come right up to me and give me the twinkle tease.. in other words . . I can almost hear her saying.. “OK watch, I’m going run up the tree, I saw what you just did” and then she whips around and dashes up the tree on the back side of it only to show up in seconds hanging from the suet feeder. She IS funny, she could just run up the tree and do her thing, but no she actually comes over to where I’m standing leaning against my car… looks up at me and then dashes off to show me her “stunt”.
The location is on NCC (National Capital commission) land, and maintained by the NCC staff and their contractors. The wildlife in the area is protected, much of the land is conservation land.
Not so for the shameful display I’m going to post next.. please skip over if you are sensitive to trash and misuse of public space.
Disgusting, you bet.. .. I found out yesterday by speaking to personnel on the other side of a fenced off area (the tracks are actually in use by VIA rail), trains go by daily for passengers to see this eye sore. I was also informed that the city has been called with complaints numerous times..to no avail.

Perception is important. Take immediate action once you suddenly perceive. You might discover something important in what you perceive.

How many people are turning a blind eye to what is happening in this small area of the city. (Not far from the airport, and in an area that is very much travelled daily by commuters) Would you care if this was happening near you? These pictures are not made up, they were taken yesterday morning. This is minutes away from a public beach and park one of the city’s tourist picture post card areas. yes, really.
