a bit of fun, I collect a treasure now and then from my trips… Have a wonderful start to the new week everyone! Thinking of you!
In Ottawa, we have an area we call Hogs Back, no, sorry I don’t know why, it has just always been called that. On one side of the roadway, the water rushes, tumbles and crashes over rocks, the view and the sounds can be very exhilarating. Yet the park land around it, is tranquil, peaceful and a joy to experience.
I found this beauty parked just sitting there while driving down the highway. Obviously I couldn’t just drive by, I wanted a closer look. Usually when one is drawn to something, there is a reason, for it.
The owner was not around, I did enquire, so I couldn’t get a story on this particular car, but I did discover that this car and others that I will use over the while, belong, or are in the charge of a company called The Sports Car Factory (restoration and fabrication) how cool is that. Their address and coordinates will be found at the end of this blog.
Old cars/trucks tell a story. I love finding one, the workmanship, the detail, the lines. they aren’t merely functional, often the car will have its very own story to tell.
What we see, is not always the full story, our eyes focus and see what is before them, we will look around us, and then settle on the view that is most pleasing to us. When I visit Hogs Back, I tend to walk over to the water, I like to gaze down at the swirling mass of water that is travelling at its own pace, going along with the pull of nature, to wherever it will lead. I can’t see beyond the upper layers of cascading foam and liquid motion. But I know it is there, under the water that I see, lies another world, it is there even though I cannot see it.
The same applies to the cars. In whatever state I find them, I know that their sum total is only part of what is there. So why as a human do I often find myself accepting what appears obvious, but in reality is only 1/2 a story, or one of many possibilities.
There you are, Saturday in part, I have so much to assimilate and discover… the lens captures one second of the day, the rest will make its way to the top, sometime, somewhere along the way.
It was a great day
it made room for today

I’ve been days in trying to get this picture into a format that I could share with you. It was taken the first day out with my new camera, I was so chuffed at getting to the water where the Queen’s swans had been released for the summer touring. There they were, so lovely so elegant. Snap snap and yes they were on the camera, BUT when I got home and tried to put them on the computer…nothing.
The fault was mine, not the camera, I had not read through the instructions.. (yes, I know that there are those smiling and tsk tsk tsking now, and you know who you are) but hey, I’ve used a camera all my life, yeah yeah yeah… but not this one.
PL Principle # 7 I will not have a mind to be hasty….etc…
PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts…
What I had managed to do, was take 3-5 seconds of movie frames.. so to actually capture the screen in a format I could put in the blog, I had to use the software Movie Maker.
Pl Principle 2 reminds me to be creative and look for shortcomings in my OWN thinking and actions.
LOL… I get a lot of practice. It may take me awhile, but I figure it out. In time, I’ll get better. I will because I want to. Paradise is where we find it.

Thursday Doors #2

a door can be many things
when it is no longer on hinges
it is still a door
whether inside
or outside that door
we really never know
what we will find
doors are gateways
whether coming in
or going out
never under-estimate
a door
they are g r e a t
in any size
shape or form

PL Precept # I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
Look beyond your immediate view
a whole new and different world
awaits you
When we make the time to
look beyond the trees
we never know just what we will see
Happy Wednesday everyone!
Thinking of you
remembering how beautiful life is
because you are in it.

ring around a rosie
a pocket full of posies
another house came down today
what was once a quiet little community
is being bombarded
with in fill
cars & trucks are lined up
all in a row
wheels off, and hoods up
like ladies of the night
waiting for someone
to come and hopefully
take what is left of the parts
after all
their hearts were
taken long ago
yes I visited one of my favourite haunts
today
no I wasn’t out to play
I had to detour and found myself
in a place
that even in the broiling heat
gives me pause
to simply
BE

When we journey beyond our day-to-day, we come across forgotten places, faded dreams of a yester-year. There are such places, that I can acknowledge and let pass. Two ships in the night. Other places shout out to me, calling for my attention. So we stop and I survey the land, the energy and “vibe” of the place. What is it that makes one location stand out from another.
Same stop, different camera angle. Maybe seconds have passed, maybe it was more like a few minutes. But in the fraction of time my gaze and attention was diverted. The light, the view was different. So it is in life. When first a challenge faces us, if we listen and take in what it is we are dealing with, our response and reaction will vary. If you are two people, arriving at the same time, seeing the same thing, neither of you, will see it the same way, sometimes close, and other times..totally different.
That is why communication, conversation is so important, if there is dialogue between two people, even between two energies, there is compatibility or there isn’t. To be a good communicator, listening has to be one of your most used tools.
The place may seem empty, but…………. the reality is ………………………..it is alive with memories.
