It has been raining these past few mornings, still the little ones come for breakfast, Photographer Jim Robertson was out the other morning, and captured these two regulars. (https://adobe.ly/3QB6AOc ) It never fails to amaze me how sweet and friendly the little critters are. The Chipmunks can be hard to see as they gather up the corn, nuts, seeds amongst the leaves. The nuthatch can be bold… but usually behaves when strangers come by,
Put Makoto even into small things, Don’t let things go with “oh well” you will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) in all you do.
Kingston Penitentiary, now closed and opened for tours (at certain times)..not very inviting is it. In our searching out of doors, we learn a lot about the past. Going through the doors of the Pen, would not have given anyone feelings of hope … Looking through the open doorways into what was.. certainly leaves you with a determination not to spend much time there.
Seeing the pictures, leaves me with an appreciation for the life I have had, and that i live and enjoy,
My huge thanks to photographer I, Mitchell for giving me permission to use his photos. It is because of the interest/ talent/creativity of others that we are able to enjoy such a vast array of the wonders that abound in the world around us, Today I will get to see architecture and doors from all over the world as I tour the posts of fellow “Thursday Door” bloggers. You can too by visiting, Dan’s No Facilities site… https://nofacilities.com/2023/10/26/barns-of-somers/ On Sundays he posts a summary of all the Thursday Door posts. Have a look.
Today’s calendar…
Smiles are the world’s treasure. If you smile more, there will be more smiles in the world. Be one of those who makes more smiles.

btw. Halloween isn’t only about ghosts, and scary things, the season is full of colour, and happy faces,/costumes and get together as friends have fun. Let’s face it.. how many “good” witches do you know!!!
You can travel along .. enjoying the view, if you look left, you get a beautiful view of the fall colours, if you look to the right.. a totally different sight meets your eyes. In life we are faced with such situations often in one day … Sometimes it is verbal not visual, but it comes down to choice. How do you cope or accept the opportunities that come your way,.

“The turning point is now. Life is a sequence of moments called now. You have the key to turn yourself around,”
observation… with the fall weather, there have been a lot more visitors to the conservation area, families coming out with the children to take in the fall colours. What is particularily fun is seeing how the faces light up when they see the rainbow of colours presented to them, especially when the skies are a clear blue, and the clouds white and puffy,,,
Reminder, there will be two services this Saturday (21st) one at 10 a.m. and one at 7 pm.
Good morning everyone, happy start to a new week. Jim Robertson has been kind enough to share with me a post he did awhile back of Mer Bleu, this is a location I go to every day and share pictures with you from that location. It is also where the turkeys are. He has done a wonderful photo spread including the video on Mer Bleu… this is the link to his page. Treat yourself to the wonders of Mer Bleu in the autumn he has done an amazing presentation. enjoy.
Respect the existence of each other. The world consists of people with different circumstances and different lifestyles. Respect and understand each other.

What is the meaning of the song on a clear day? (Google internet)
“It’s one of exuberance that not only accepts but overcomes the heartbreak everyone experiences at some point in life. If there were ever a popular song written about the experience of realizing universal consciousness, of attaining nirvana, of finding the bliss we are all seeking, “On A Clear Day” is it.”
Happy Week-end everyone.. enjoy the moment, share your smile with all around you, Happiness begins within.
When the leaves begin to fall, that is when we find secret treasures in the woods. There are times when life happens,
When this car was found late one autumn day .. in an empty lot .. off a country road, far away from anywhere I would usually be… even tho’ I knew nothing about the car.. I felt a sadness … somehow it just felt abandoned, I thought of that car for days,… and then the vision faded and the moment was lost in a folder somewhere … today I found the folder again.. and all the feelings of that moment when I first saw the car came flooding back… Only this time.. I appreciate the rediscovery of that moment. It had been a fun day, a day out with a friend, simply exploring.
If like myself, you are a person who captures memories/moments … you know the happy moment of rediscovery. What was is gone, but the memories live on. Only constant in life is change. ( one of my mantras)
Make today a “Give back day” We can live our daily lives owing to our ancestors, our elders, and the work of our predecessors. Above all, kindness for others is the best way to give back,
Talk about a quiet little hide-a-way. I was just telling a friend who asked how I have been doing the last while how much I enjoyed the change of seasons. We have gone from days on end of above average sunshine and hot weather, to typical fall weather, cool, damp, raining days/nights / with periods of clear skies.
Colours were appearing everywhere, the skies were blue and beckoning. Not so yesterday when I passed by these trees, the rain had pelted down for hours on them, many of the leaves had given up and let go, Change can happen in an instant. When it does, what is there to do but accept. Today is another day.
I came across the picture of the little hide-a-way when I was looking for something else, It struck me as being peaceful. Had me wondering what it must be like to live tucked away like that ,.. is it an opening to a cave, or just a deep overhang.?? I had collected the picture for one of my Thursday door blogs, and today isn’t Thursday, but I wanted to spend time “imagining/dreaming” of just what this little “home” was all about. Anyone out there, does it spark an interest?
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.
