A beautiful sun filled day, the skies a brilliant blue – it was an amazing moment in time.
It was a clear day, and I was lucky enough to have the miles of forest to myself. Well almost, I had all the woodland critters with me. ^_^
Handle things that come your way one by one
Tackle your issues in the order they appear in front of you. You will be able to get things done more efficiently this way.

winter
Even if there is snow, the little critters still have to eat.
Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “this is the way it has to be,” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.

It is a winter wonderland of sculptures…

-35 degrees
Bitter cold yes… wind chill had it between -38 and -35 depending on who you were listening to on the radio. Did I care.. no… the air was frigid, Time stood still. The birds came to eat, but they were not going to hang around…. I went back to the car to warm my hands before going back to do the suet. I don’t wear gloves, it makes it too awkward to open the suet cages. I brought some lettuce leaves and I had some soya sprouts left over.. I took them further into the bush, closer to a big fallen tree… and half buried it so that rabbit could still find it… I included an offering of rabbit pellet food…. being he/she is wild they may not be interested in the pellets.. but I left them anyway.
When it is as cold as it was, there is a crispness underfoot when you walk over the snow… I could feel the icy fingers of the wind as it found a way to my bare arms under my sweater sleeves. I didn’t have to explain that I wouldn’t be lingering… After putting out the food, and giving the jays extra peanuts… I got back into my car to warm up. I knew I would be stopping to capture the pictures you see above.. the woodlands are so beautiful with the sculptured snow on the out stretched branches.
Winter is a beautiful time of the year, right now the Winterlude festival is on in the city. If you are near, and can make it to where the ice sculptures are… you are in for a treat. It is cold yes, but you can dress warmly, the ice castles and winter ice slides, the skating on the canal, all make for an winter adventure that is exciting and rewarding…, After the fun of exploring all that is being offered .. you can sit with a hot chocolate, or a beaver tail, and simply bask in the wonders of life.
LIFE IS FILLED WITH MOMENTS, SOMETIMES HAPPY AND AT TIMES INCONVENIENT. IT IS IMPORTANT TO FIRST ACCEPT EVERY SITUATION AS IT OCCURS AND TRY TO ACCEPT AND UNDERSTNA IT FOR WHAT IT IS.

I was so tired when I got to this part of the highway, I had pulled off thinking I’d put the seat back and maybe close my eyes…then I heard all the birds, saw the river slowly drifting by… and I was enticed out of the car ,it was such a beautiful day. Nature and all its wonders is a soothing balm.
Have a good day everyone!

Holding unto anger is like holding on to a hot coal so you can pitch it at another…..
Unclutter your mind. If your life is a room, is it full of shadows and dust…?
Bom dia… Welcome another day.

My last visit here was in very early spring, no vegetation had begun yet.. This was not the case yesterday… it is such a pleasure to drive off the busy road, and turn into the parking lot for this hidden paradise. It was later in the morning, there were only two other cars in the parking lot. As I made my way down into the wonderful welcoming quiet of the forest…. I could feel my shoulders relaxing and my pace slowed down, I wasn’t in a rush… I just wanted to drink in the beauty around me. I took these pictures where a path I used to take to the water was completely filled in…NO, I didn’t wander down through it.. I was being careful .. there are a lot of tick sightings I didn’t want to invite unwanted trouble.
Appreciate the Makoto (Sincerity) of the people who came before you
Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

This trail goes a long way into the woods, past a long ago kiln works building that is basically now just a shell. a reminder that “nothing stays the same” I hope to go back later in the fall and do a longer walk,
Whatever ever you do today, make your smile shine….
