This is the tree I was pulling down when I hurt my leg.
A friend returned to the area, she obviously pulled it out of the area I had felled it in, and put it up against the tree on the other side of the feeding area. Friends are invaluable treasures!
It was my first time out on my own… I was careful, however, what did my day in was that when I got home I decided to do a wash (laundry) and had to do the stairs several times.. That gave my leg its last hurrah, it shoved back… it is now back in an upper brace, to assuage the swelling.. and I will rest and put it up to let it regain the steps it lost yesterday!!!
However the outing itself was “awesome” I loved the solitude and welcome silence of the woods as I entered. I was able to feel the freshness and smell the fallen leaves. This is my favourite time of year. The blue jay with his brilliant blue and white plumage came to the party, and sang his delight at finding the peanuts. They (the birds) didn’t reprimand, they were joyous in their acceptance of fresh seed.
Speaking of food, hmmm its breakfast time… =^_^=
Improve yourself to have a kinder heart. Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy.
Not living in NZ, I cannot but imagine what it must be like to stand on the shoreline under such skies and taking this picture. I love the brooding oranges and dark clouds.
Shirley Keen, NZ
I went back into the file with her photos, and found this one, again.. she sees this on her walks every day/night… Not at all what I would see if I walked around my city street in the evening. We are all on the same planet, but our views, our geography is so different. The same applies in how we see life itself. We all experience love, pain, happiness, grief, but all in our own way.
Shirley took this next picture on one of her “walks” she ventured further than her immediate area, and walked along different paths.. One of the pictures she took ..(for me) was a “wow” moment.
Port Nelson. NZ
Because I live smack in the middle of a busy city, this is not something I would get to see unless I was on a holiday somewhere, and out for a walk in the evening. Even then if I wasn’t in the geographical area, where she was at the time of taking the picture, same longitude/latitude etc. I would not “see” or “capture” that same moment.
This is also what happens to us on/in a day to day, when we chat and talk with friends, we share experiences, and the friend will hear what we are saying and form their own “picture” of what is being said.. but they will never have the exact same experience.. this is why communication is so key in any kind of relationship. Personal, business or otherwise..
No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something. The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is yours and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you.
When the midnight hour strikes, the ghosts and goblins come out to play. There are always those who just don’t fit in, the ghouls and their pranks, the vampires and their weird sense of humour. Like, being bitten is fun!.
Some players just don’t get that its not nice to play with pointed objects that could hurt someone
I did meet a dog who seemed friendly at first, but when I drew closer, he bared his teeth and snapped… I got the message and moved on.
I thought to have more luck with this fellow, but he just wasn’t interested in anything but his bottle. We do our best, it is really all we can do.
Be careful about saying “its probably good enough”” Wholeheartedly do what you notice, when and how you notice it.

When I think on it, he may not have been happy that I had one of his possible friends on my witching rod. This is the season of the witch, your broom dusted and ready to fly?
Work is a pile of chores (minor things) How sincere are you in your daily life from morning till night? Life is a series of small things, a pile of small things, reminder, happiness is something not to neglect.

Rumours are curses. When people who like to gossip get together, they turn into the conversation into “bad language” Just being there saying bad things and so on is a negative. It is not wise to gossip

I picked a variety of “doors (openings) today, let your thoughts, imagination wander and explore the possibilities, of how and what these images evoke.
Let’s look at and listen to others with an open mind. Your judgement becomes clouded when you look at a situation or person with preconceived notions. Observe them for what they actually are.

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.

OK virtual worlds are not for everyone, but.. let me tell you, laid up, not able to get out and get around by myself right now.. being able to visit the fun creativity of Halloween themed parks is super Fun. This is my avatar China dressed for her dance set at a club where my friend Yume is DJ for a two hour set of rocking Blues.
DJ DEE
Not only do we have fun, get to meet new friends, we can explore and listen to great music, both live and hosted by DJ’s who have extensive knowledge of the music genre you like.
I know that every year the decorating and hauntings are becoming more and more festive, in and out of virtual. What will be doing, have you got plans… will you dress up, is your home/office/school decorated. For me I’ve already started with the pumpkin pie, turkey, dressings and all the fixings that go with the cooler season and the holidays associated with it.
Be very careful about doing things you really like. Do everything in moderation. When you overdo, you’ll lose your balance
Because (update) I had a bit of a set back yesterday, I will be off my leg for another while. I was thrilled when I saw Num had posted the above pictures, this is where I want to be.. I so much want to be back wandering the woodlands..Sooooo I am being good, and practicing patience as best I can to ensure the leg heals. My new camera is heavy, and the terrain I like to wander is on the rugged side.. current mantra is patience girl, patience.

My friend Shirley in NZ visited the most wonderful attraction in Denniston of an old coal mine. I’m going to share some of her pictures here for you to enjoy.
Where ever you are in the world, this is a wonderful time of the year, the cooler air is exciting, it brings with it the winds of change, and therefore we have new discoveries to explore. Through the adventures of my friends who like myself like to wander and explore, through my blog I try to share with you the awesome world we live in. In Shirley’s pictures I could envision how the coalfields must have looked back when it was operational, the hive of activity, the human energy it required to function.
We (as a people) have come such a long way, the history of our past, the trials, the hardships, the joys and the new discoveries are all part of what we have to thank for, where we are today.
With the new season soon to be with us, let’s strive to be better at being open to new ideas, new possibilities, and remember to give thanks for where we have been, and the people/ancestors who paved the way for us.
With one thought “the World” will change, it begins with US.
This is an opportunity wherever you are in the world to listen to live SAX
