Monday morning

A beautiful morning, started at Dewberry and went on next Mer Bleue. I’m pleased with this new app. it tells me that in the last 15 days, I have hit the 50K mark.. Not sure what that is, I still measure in miles, but I do know I average 2 miles a day. (tracked data)… often I don’t have the app tracking .. I’m active, but the cell phone is sitting on a side table or on my desk. Such is life =^_^=

Also note, that today I used a stronger repellent, and I’m pleased to report, that I was hardly bothered by pesky insects. I could see them swarming, but they kept a good distance from me.. I actually stopped. sat on a bench and closed my eyes, allowing the sun and sounds to filter through and just enjoy! It was delightful.

Leaving Mer Bleue I saw two wild turkeys cross the road, and walk along on the side of the road, but on the other side of the ditch. I know I took pictures, but can I find them……….no……not at the moment. =^_^=

the vegetation is so lush… I was there very early between 7- 7:30 a.m. might try to get there even earlier later this week.

Instead of being excessively concerned about others, focus on what you should do.

Morning stroll

meet my little hairy woodpecker Photos by Bjoern Rost

Silly how one bird can make your day. One photographer Bjoern Rost, can make it even better. By the time I got to the bog, I was running late, I’d already walked at P23…time was limited, I asked Bjoern who had just arrived, IF he was able to get a picture of my little “princess” could he send it along to me.. Et voila, I got more than one, you can see the little woodpecker in all her beauty. yes, to me, she gets my attention more than the blue jay who has also been hanging around. Ok yes there are other birds.. but this little one is the one I spoil. Thank YOU Bjoern!

Tomorrow 31st (calendar)

Don’t think overly about people. Instead of being excessively concerned about others, focus on what you should do.

a familiar friend

just couldn’t get him to turn around, delighted to see him tho’ conned me out of sunflower seeds

I had seen that there was a clearing up off the trail I usually walk, when I climbed the incline to the clearing I found anther of these wood “tents” and two other possibilities.

Wholeheartedly do what you notice, when and how you notice it.

I didn’t think about it, I saw it and decided to check it out. Had I simply noticed and moved on, I would have missed the other possibilities that I now will have when next I visit this location.

Be present, live in the Now!

come away with me

Be careful about saying “it’s probably good enough” Wholeheartedly do what you notice, when and how you notice it.

Some days, when the skies are the clearest of blues, the feathered clouds wisps of angel white, the trees and surrounding vegetation are an array of, every shade of blue/green/yellow, AND the air is filled with the fresh lavender like scent of new growth -it is nothing short of perfection. Today I walked through the most heavenly scents – I looked for lavender, lily of the valley/ lilacs….. saw only the bog and the plants growing there, but ohhhh the intoxicating aromas were “mind blowing” I would have loved to have had someone with me who could identify what it was that I was enjoying so much. (one plant did look like lavender??)

nothing can erase the anxiety/ frustrations of day to day living in the current climate of a pandemic than a walk in nature.

down by the water

You couldn’t always see them, but you heard them, the geese were in great numbers today..

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

Thursday Doors

what a difference a season and time make om what happens in the world around us

This is one of the most popular and busies bar/restaurants in the downtown tourist area of the city. Not just during the holidays but at any time of the year, this restaurant is alive with people from all over the city and the world. Now like many other restaurants in the area, and the city itself, it is empty and devoid of the sounds and energy that it is used to.

Doors are closed all over the city, not just in Ottawa, but in small towns, villages and along the highways .. where friends would meet and enjoy the social activity of sharing and engaging with a friend(s).

Where ever you are, you are coping with the changes happening around us, some places life is returning to some form of normal, but that is not everywhere. We are being subjected to to a lot of change, discontent, anxieties, frustrations..

Some restaurants are getting by with take out, and home deliveries. BUT, that is only some restaurants, and often it means they are barely getting by. One observation has been that to many eating out, going to a restaurant, just for a coffee was the highlight of the day, a gathering place, and a place to touch base with others who like you were /are just passing through.

the door on the left you may remember is in a very trendy town, always bustling with people wandering and enjoying exploring all the open doors to the boutiques and shops along the main street, and visiting the wonderful outdoor and indoor cafes and eateries. The door on the left is also usually a busy door that would see hundreds of visitors who came to eat at this eatery that is backed by rushing water and a favourite for locals as well as the tourists who come to enjoy a “day out”

It’s okay to think “this is where it starts” There is always a turning point, It’s important what you do from now on.

Stay cool, calm and safe!

Silent Wednesday

Be carful about doing things you really like. do everything in moderation. When you overdo, you’ll lose your balance.
Perfect Liberty 2021.26

A quick note- example – I love to hike/walk in the woods.. for days on end I go out every morning and drink in the world around me. Yesterday the heat/ the miles/ many steps, caught up with me. I lay down just for a second and lost the rest of the day/night. MODERATION.

following the trail

Pictures of some of the “ladies” that were on display today… the vegetation is growing in leaps and bounds, won’t be long and the road will have reduced by half. It (vegetation) is coming in on both sides.

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

Today’s visit was longer than I expected it to be. I found that the trails I would have or had been taking, were not that inviting. With all the new growth, they were dark, and from a distance, I could hear the hum of mosquitos. Not inviting. I sprayed on the repellent and took off down the paved road. Thought I’d try to find the green gate on my own. Not that it would be difficult, it was just a matter of walking till I came upon it.

The spine that I should you pictures of in previous blog.. was at one time found just in, beyond the gate. Its been weeks now since the first “hiker/walker” found it… I doubted it would still be there, still I decided to venture in beyond the gate.

this was what I was hoping to find. I didn’t see any trace of it.

What I did encounter was an immediate invasion of cannibal minded mosquitos. They were everywhere, swarming around my head, trying to bit through my sleeves.. Not pretty. When I left the car I thought to bring my “Off”.. but I didn’t.. obviously my protection I had sprayed on when started out, was not going to hold these attackers off. I made a quick exit back to the open road.

The new tracker app that a friend suggested I put on my phone, has been fun, it tells me how many miles and steps I do. I’m happy that with each outing I’m getting better, and able to go just that little bit further without huffing and puffing! LOL there is hope for me yet!!

Take care everyone, enjoy whatever it is you are embarking on….

Sunday

Multitasking reduces your joy by half. when doing something give it your all. There is joy in everything.
Perfect Liberty 2021.23

Watching the ducks lazily bob along yesterday, was a reminder that there is no need to always “be busy”. They took their time, they would drift along, letting the current take them, then shift slightly to grab another little wave, they were focused like the families of geese on land, on just enjoying the day.

A good reminder to me, I need not rush around doing, I can just take my time and enjoy the day/afternoon/evening.

Being and end each day with a prayer and love in your heart

Bates Island

Family day at the park. .parents babies and friends

I cannot remember the last time I was on Bates Island. Likely years and years and years. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was not too busy, although there were a couple of inconsiderate persons who parked blocking the one way road on one end of the island. I wondered if there had been a sign and I missed it that this was a special picnic day for the geese and ducks. They were everywhere. Even the gulls were around, all were intent on feasting on whatever delicacies they could find.

There were a lot of proud parents watching their young playing and eating, I took care to keep my distance. One couple thought to sit by the water’s edge and enjoy a small picnic lunch.. No Way, the geese came at them from both directions, they finally got up and moved to one of the picnic tables away from the patrolling geese. In the last photo there are several babies under the greenery, I tried to get a picture of the one baby who was trying to walk up the tree, but of course, only got so far and toppled down. Mother stood closely by.

There were no kayaks in the rapids, it wasn’t too hot yet, temperatures are going to be high today, but there was a fog/smog in the air.. It will be overcast most of the day.

thru the mist off in the distance you can see downtown Ottawa and the watch tower on the grounds of Parliament.

View your difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress. You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.
