Saturday
When was the last time you sat around doing “nothing” and didn’t feel guilty ..
There was a time when going for a drive, or to the cottage, meant getting away from the everyday “grind”… Often the cottage didn’t even have a phone… never mind a television. time was spent swimming, fishing, hiking, riding a bike through country lanes … reading under the shade of a big tree…. I remember taking the row boat out.. (no engine, you rowed) sitting in the middle of the lake and just letting it drift once I was away from shore…
I am told these days are long gone and impossible to find unless one goes far far out ..away from cities/towns. (I am also told that some lakes have banned motor boats (speed boats) … but.. I don’t know that for fact)
I left home without my cell phone the other day. Wow… I realized it was noticeable. Especially when I wasn’t driving.. stopped somewhere for any length of time… I found myself checking my pocket to see if there was something I had to respond to… and then adjusting my “habit” when I realized my cell phone was at home.. and I was “on my own”…. liberating or what!
Find a quiet place and simply – enjoy the moment –

Rain
A gentle rain has been falling all night. It will wash the summer dust away, paving the earth with the start of a gentle decay that will kick start new beginnings…

hello
Good morning… you all know by now that I use avatars to help me in my photography for my blogs. At this time of year the designers are putting out their skins for “Halloween” There are thousands of us who love this time of the year…. our creativity knows no bounds.
When working with “Bee” here, before I got her dressed in hair and clothes… I thought how beautiful the designer had made her face. She stood out, she wasn’t an old hag, a witch with a warped nose, her makeup wasn’t gothic Gor… I found she had a certainly quality to her.. and.. she was proud of who she was. To match her facial skin, I had to search out a designer who worked in the colour tones that would compliment her face.
I found a designer who made skin that gave her body the appearance of being a “barbie” doll. Bingo. a match!
You know ladies how we are constantly being bombarded with ads on how to make ourselves look younger, skinner, etc. Working with this model.. was inspiring..
It is not about what we look like, its about, the person we are . who we are.. how we treat others and live in the world around us. “a broken crayon still colours”

Are you feeling lost in space? Is the world gone techi crazy, is humanity being left behind? Have you found that instead of dealing with human issues we are being left to deal with automated robots? Technology that has no “heart” or “mind” of its own.
More than ever, it is important for you to find time to reconnect with nature. To breathe in air that isn’t polluted with endless concrete buildings and the noise of a city that is on steroids of batteries and flashdrives.

There is something special about walking down into the woods on an overgrown trail… where not long ago it was shades of green and the sun had to make its way through the dense growth to give dappled patterns on the ferns and ground cover – now… there are patches of vibrant colours splashed against the emerald greens, slowly, the golden glow of multiple shades of orange, bronze and copper are presenting the eye with a patchwork of blazing tones that dazzle and turn the world into a kaleidoscope of brilliance that is mesmerizing.
I made time to visit my old stomping grounds yesterday .. it was so crowded with cars and people wanting to experience the fall colours that I didn’t stay.. but the brief tour I took … left me wanting more.
Live today filled with enthusiasm
Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today’ only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.
