Beauty

This beautiful picture was taken by Michel Lanthier who posted it the other day on his FB page.. https://www.facebook.com/michel.lanthier.79…

For you are regulars, you know this past few weeks have been filled with a very deep sadness, and it was a cardinal who took flight when Velcro passed. (previous post). Michel has recently posted some beautiful pictures of cardinals, but when I saw this one he took of a bird in flight, I knew I wanted to share it. I find it so spiritual, beautiful and healing, I spend a lot of time with birds as you all know… I have them flying past me, landing on me and sharing hours with me… but this picture Michel got of the bird in flight, his ability to capture the detail of the graceful beauty as its wings open and it takes to the air … is breathtaking.

If I’ve learned anything over the past many years in the “bush” meeting up with the wildlife photographers, they are artists dedicated to their “art”… they spend hours in whatever weather we are having, waiting for that “one” moment in time…. thanks to their patience and dedication to their craft, we get to see and enjoy nature in a totally different way,

Put Makoto even into small things.(sincerity) Don’t let things go with “oh well”. You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto in all you do.

Breakfast

I visited with them for almost an hour, the guests just kept arriving. In the afternoon at a different location, I had cardinals, chickadees, sparrows (several varieties ) starlings and a couple I didn’t recognize. In the morning I also brunched with crows, MANY crows.. Yesterday you could say was a day for the birds and wildlife. * I didn’t get pictures of the nuthatches/chickadees/BlueJays or woodpeckers.. there was too much movement (there had to be close to a dozen Bluejays) around me. *Note.. there is a place or two now for those of you who bring a small stool or folding chair to sit and enjoy.

Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you, when you are happy or when you ae troubled.. Also, it will be a good chance for you to get to know others.

Friday

Yesterday you saw some of the buildings that caught my eye on the way to Ompah. Here you are seeing some of land I hiked along. To get to the water, I had to go down a steep ravine to a level area .. where I was looking down at the water… it was so inviting that when I came to a wooden set of steps, I ventured down to the water’s edge.

Lesson I learned… If you go down, you have to come back up! Focused on getting pictures, I had not taken into account to get to where I was I had walked down a steep incline, I found the steps while I was walking the grounds searching for another path leading back up to the area where my friend waited in the car. !!

Look at the rocks, the beautiful old fence, weathered and worn but still standing Yes I likely overdid, I didn’t have my walking sticks with me and because the area hosted art shows in the summer weather, the land was cleared of fallen branches and the like. BUT it was gorgeous .. life was good, life was vibrant, the air clear, getting colder yes (we were heading for an evening of snow and dropping temperatures) I WAS HAPPY, JOYFUL AND FULL OF LOVE… fresh air, the silence of open country (no city sounds) Yes, my body had a lot to say about the walking/hiking and the constant in and out of the car… BUT it was worth it. I think we have all had such experiences. If we are going to be here (on earth) we should appreciate and enjoy as much as we can. Peace on earth, begins at home and in our hearts.

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.

Thursday Door … to find a treasure of doorways from Europe *taken by wandering photographer MC. (this is a barn building I see every day as I drive to and from conservation area.)*

Always be humble. If you work on things with the attitude of asking a favor, people around you will advise you what they have noticed, There is something in fact you are not aware of that you do.

Xmas?

OK I resisted putting in a winter theme picture, but last night… I have no idea why, a song came up in my head, we have all been there, and nothing would do but I find the song and listen to it properly. Did I find it yes and no. I found all kind of versions, but the one I was hunting for. I did find this one, https://youtu.be/5Aa_9ruWPnA?si=7wTQRxR1f7fMU6BC … it was the sax part that I wanted to hear… Anyway, I searched for a good hour or more, in the end I did find a version I remembered but by then I was too tired and had missed my falling asleep moment. Not everyday/night is a perfect.. pleasant dreams night … where you wake up all sunshine bright next morning.

I should have had my scallop snack, they provide serotonin and magnesium .. my cooking pals out there.. I’ve become a scallop fiend I want them 3, 4 times a week, LOL Gail rolling your eyes… I simply rinse them. drop them in a pot of boiling soup stock, drain them .. cool them and pop them like popcorn. (the wee ones) the bigger ones I sear ..in butter and garlic. No.. I know, there is no hope for me.

Be grateful for everything.. If you see everything as material to express gratitude, you can encounter a number of opportunities you are grateful for.

already 15th

Rugged rocky countryside. The terrain is so different when we drive along the highway on the Quebec side of the river. It is a short distance to travel to feel the call of the wild and the outcrop of rocks that once beckoned me to climb. For a time I wanted to climb a frozen waterfall. Did I ever get to do it, no, but I sure thought of it a lot,

Thinking about doing something and doing it, are not the same thing, With the interviews that keep appearing on my screen that Robbie gave (Robbie Robertson) over the last years of his life, there is always the mention of Levon (Levon Helm) I don’t remember Levon all that well, it was Robbie who spent time talking to me, and telling me stories and about his desire to bring his music and stories to places he had yet to see or experience. Good on him he did it, and he did it with determination and a desire to do what he needed to do to accomplish his dreams.

We lost touch, so I don’t know how hard or difficult his dream was to achieve, but he did what he wanted to do, loved doing, and from all the press, he was successful. He wore his scars and told his stories always with pride of his heritage…

Time has a way of blurring the lines.. softening the memories of the struggles and hard moments in our history. That is why I focus on living every day as best as I can. I want no regrets.. I still can’t climb that frozen waterfall, but I can enjoy the memory, when it pops up in my now very full “book of memories”

I know the internet wants to be our everything. It isn’t. When the power goes out, you have only your thoughts/memories … cherish them.

Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you when you are happy or when you are troubled. Also, it will be a good chance for you to get to know others,

finding solace

photo Chris O’keefe, USA (Milford St. Blog)(2012)

Chris took this back in June 2012, or at least that is when I first encountered this find of his. when I saw it, I was so taken with the creativity of the artist’s sculptures he’d found. I remember thinking at the time, that the artist had to have had vision.. the picture has always stayed with me, I often see trail bike riders enjoying the woodland trails, wondered if I would love the feeling of traveling through the woods with the canopy of trees overhead and all around.

The idea appealed to me, yet at the same time, I love the slow wander through the various endless vignettes I find when I am enjoying the calm of an unpreoccupied mind when I give my mental faculties a rest as I tune into my surroundings while practicing mindfulness exercises.

Get things started with grit. If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you
Perfect Liberty 2023.

Tune into your surroundings. Try narrowing your attention to something very small, i.e the woodgrain on the bench where you are sitting, a blade of grass….. acknowledge just how being in the outdoors bring you peace of mind – disconnect from the hectic world you are often surrounded by.. find yourself . try the exercise for 10 minutes. find the sense of true calm.

16 = 7

Colouring, an art form that I love to enjoy visually but realized a long time ago, that this skill was not in my bag of tricks. MY friend Awen who is a genius with a colour palette never ceases to amaze me with her delightful little art pieces. She send me this little fox a few years back, every once in awhile I come across it and it always … ALWAYS makes me smile. She was learning to blend water colour pencils using a wet paint brush. Even that .. I remember being so thrilled with her little gift to me, and the way she was able to take a pencil and blend the colours like she did… that I went out and bought several sets of water colour pencils. I tried, I truly did… but finally I had to face the fact, yes I could colour, but in no way did I have the patience or the necessary “talent” to get the results I wanted.

Another example of my thinking that if I had the tools I can reproduce or do anything. Not true. it is like the time I wanted to try oil painting (my Mom painted in oils)… I lacked the patience to work with oils .. over the years my reality is I like immediate satisfaction/results from the tools that I work with. example, I love multi media products, especially acrylics and the pastes,waxes and powders that allow the artist in me to create in 2, and 3D .. I like texture and form. I want hills, valleys, shadows, lumps, bumps, swirls. I create and express my visuals in abstract.

We all have a need to express ourselves, and each and everyone of us will do so in a different way. If you are like me, you never repeat something exactly the same ..each piece has to be unique to “itself”

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.
Perfect Liberty 2023.16

No two people are alike, nor do they express themselves in the same way. Our form of expression is unique to us.. what is the same and the common thread, is the need to have the ability and outlet to express ourselves. WE all have our own way of expressing ourselves. Do you know what yours is?

youth – memory

arggghhhh I want to freeze this moment in time. I find it so frustrating when talking to “some” people, especially if they are of a younger generation. Their concept of time and mine are just not the same. I get asked what I consider to be the silliest of questions..

A happy moment, my neighbour’s garden is in flower, I am lucky enough to have a couple of very dedicated gardeners nearby.,, what a delight to drive by in the morning and see the beautiful blooms.

“OK guys, we’ve had our breakfast, let’s wander” they casually head off to groom and enjoy the clear blue skies, Life is always better after a visit with the 3 muskateers.
