Let’s have a humble mind. Once you think, “that’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative.

I no longer even ask how they manage to get such wonderful shots. I simply accept that it is a gift that we are fortunate they share with us.
Are you overdoing things? Not only do you harm yourself when you overdo things, but you may be imposing on others as well.

The bird appears to be looking in a mirror. How often have I looked in a mirror and wondered at who that was looking back at me. It happens. We all have our own way of seeing ourselves. Sometimes I look but don’t see anything. That happens too. When I am overdoing, “pushing the envelope” I can actually see the “weariness” …. what I am working on is “listening” to what I feel, and see. The cardinal is obviously doing some wondering himself.
Have a great day everyone.
breakfast, yes shrimps are huge.. fresh basil, home made soup, gingered egg, the soup is from Farm Boy ..Hot Pot …
Unlikely pair to find on my way to the woods. I have to turn off a country road unto another very rural road that leads to one of the conservation area… I drove by the two chickens just sitting on the road (opposite side from the side I was driving).. at first I thought, my eyes were deceiving me.. I stopped looked in the rear view mirror to find two heads turned my way. I backed up. what else could I do.. stopped beside them, turned my flashers on and got out. They watched with interest .. didn’t move… just waited for me to???
I got seed from the back of my car and put it on the other side of them.. hoping to lead them off the road itself. they didn’t hesitate they began pecking and moving to the side of the road. What to do.. I didn’t want to leave them the woods there are full of coyotes and other critters that could do them harm. In the end I did drive to the parking lot and got the phone number for the NCC (National Capital Commission) the land owners … who in turn assured me they would get in touch with someone from the conservation team. And a ranger would come to the rescue… I sure hope they did.

New encounters can help you change. BE up for anything even if its out of your comfort zone. This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being.

btw. no I don’t think the chickens came from somewhere near by.. it is in the woods there are no farms in that area.. it is all protected land. It snowed last night.. there were no tracks in the snow.
For everything there is a reason .. maybe not at the time … will you know why? … but there will be an aha moment when something will “relate”
Be in tune with the feeling of others. Let’s start by trying to understand other peoples’ feelings.

where two energies meet up
We live in a society that obsesses over physical appearance and fitness. This is a good reason, why it is essential to find a way to appreciate and love .. the “me” in all of us.. let’s practice body love and appreciation today.
During the winter, when the birds find water they can have fun in.. they have a splash. The Cooper’s Hawk Dan Cadieux https://www.instagram.com/dancadphotography/ found one day wandering in a stream, he apparently stayed to wade for a good hour giving Dan plenty of time to get a few good pictures in.
These wonderful pictures I get to share with you, is due to the amazing patience and dedication the photographers I work with give to their craft. I so appreciate them and their generosity in sharing with us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let’s live with gratitude towards everyone and everything all day today.

Today in Perfect Liberty is Thanksgiving/appreciation day. As always there will be a service for special prayers. If you are unable to attend, please spend a few minutes in prayer giving thanks for the blessings we receive.
Here is a small thought to tuck away, and meditate on … it is important to remember. anxious feelings happen to all of us from time to time… it is the wise person who listens and learns from them...
This barn is being preserved, but all around it has been torn down, fields are ripped up, a new development is going on. sigh..
Driving around upper New York State. There was such a variety of buildings ..from run down to redone.. and of course… a “state” building.
Remember the door knob yesterday.. this is what it was hiding. Now you know why I wear good hiking boots and protective clothing when I explore. Always very careful when entering abandoned buildings
Experience the joy of change. It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year, or today compared to yesterday and realize how much you have improved and changed.
Here we are mid month. If you were asked, if you take life far too seriously, do you know what your answer would be. Just wondering.
Listening….
Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully. Listening to people is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity)

The above picture is of my elder dog making like he is listening to what is being said. It is always interesting to watch how intently he can become aware of something, listen, and then dismiss what he’s heard based on ??? We may smile, but how often in the day do we do the same or a close facsimile of this same behaviour.
“As a living person you interact with the people and things around you in order to express your feelings. Your life is shaped by the way you express your feelings, each and every day. “your artistic expressions are what make your life a work of art….” If you are ignoring these truths and just living half heartedly going through your daily life not paying careful attention to your repeated actions you will not be able to lead a full life. Life is an accumulation of small moments.” (members guide)
You can only change yourself. Before you start telling people how they should do things, think of how you can be more flexible.
