old Chelsea rd to Wakefield

DSC00338

It was a heavenly day, sunny, bright, the promise of a lazy summer in the air.  We had stopped to explore a property with a for sale sign.  The view was magnificent.  In the summer when the woodlands were dense with foliage, the view would be entirely different.

DSC00340The odd car went by on the old highway, but that aside, the little woodland was quiet.  There were signs that at one time, someone had built, there was firewood neatly stacked waiting to be needed.  The building though was long gone.  All that was left was the remanet of a concrete step.

As we stood in silence taking in the fresh air and the ambiance of the day, we were each in our own thoughts. To Rev. Eisuke, who was born and raised in Japan, then spent the last 6 years assigned to Argentina… I could only imagine what his thought were.  Mine was on the many times I’d driven by, and never seen this slice of heaven  It was a perfect moment. Everything just felt so right.  Nature’s embrace does that.  We both marvelled at the blessings of living with God brings.  PL Precept #11  Always be with  God.

Coming back we took the super-duper new highway that cut through the rugged hillside.  Speeding us back to civilization. Sigh. That is just what life is about.When the moment happens. seize it. Blessings come in many guises.

dissatisfactions and complaints

 

happy not

not a happy face, nope, no joy found here

tired, weather worn and ragged

life has left an imprint of a bitter

state of mind

spent in the company of

dissatisfaction and complaints

hand of the past_edited-1

we, each and every one of us

is entitled to happiness

and the joy of living in a world

full of promise and hope

past charm

true, what was,

sometimes fades with the

changing seasons

but it is what is inside that counts

happy and even sad memories

make up our past

yet here we are

starting a brand new day

Sharon springs 8

our lives continue

like sparkling  spring water flowing

over the dips and valleys

happily gurgling along

over the variety of rocks

there really is no other choice, but to go with the flow

so why not use what dissatisfaction

and momentary complaints that come our way

as catalysts to improve and change our days

so that happiness is the mainstay

of our  daily “every day” lives.

appreciate whatever comes your way

the shade you see, will soon shift and fade away

Earth Day!

DSC00253

Hello………….celebrate Earth Day

do we not do this every day ?

there obviously is a need to make everyone aware

that we need to appreciate and take care

of the world that we live in

DSC00248

it worked for me today

a reminder is always a positive reinforcement

we often forget when we simply go about our day

not always taking care of how we throw our waste away

please, let us all concentrate

more on saving the planet

not just today

but always

.

Boats – waiting

 

All in a row

one by one

they sit and wait

for someone to come open the gate

it is a beautiful day

surely today will be the day

shadows play along the walls

racks wait patiently

to feel the weight of  their cargo

the sun shines down with promise

 anticipation is carried on the breeze

  Mother Nature  smiles & whispers

“all in good time”

we still are nowhere near the twenty first of May

soon, soon enough,

the grounds will be alive with activity

the sailing season

will begin

for now the few

who have come to enjoy

are blessed with a tranquil day

and open spaces of exquisite joy

Wordless Wednesday -fragile heart

egg shell kitten

I made this card many years ago

yes, those are egg shells

there are times when

 like an egg shell

on a hard boiled egg

a moment lived, just feels cracked

 try as you may

the egg simply won’t peel

in just the right way

it is, what it is

no more, no less

BUT

when life is an art

we find and do it our way

Je t’aime ~

garden past

garden sprite tell me true

what will the morning bring

when the sun shines high in the azure sky

bathing the world in a light so bright

will I find my love come night

silly child how will you find

something you have not lost

you need only look

deep into your heart

to see and feel the love

that constantly beats

with each pitter patter of your heart

je t’aime, je t’aime

true love has no beginning and no end

gone with time

Buenos dias,me encanta esto

Good morning everyone!!!!  I love it here….  I love Canada and the four seasons, it is a photographer/writer’s dream.  Something new everyday, today the buds are breaking through the bark, little heads are peaking through.  Excitement is in the air.

yesyes

I don’t think there would have been room for a go-cart in the parking lot at the golf course I passed yesterday.  The driving range was the same.  Of course, now is also the time that everyone wants to throw open the doors, and get at the spring cleaning,

thumb_COLOURBOX10010681

The enthusiasm is there, maybe not the same glee,  but the passion and desire to get at it, and have it done is there.  This desire to be out in the sunshine and spring showers seems to be everywhere,

There is no great mystery about life, it simply is an every changing world, that like the nature that we are part of, we all have seasons of our own.  Learning to embrace change and to allow our creativity to flow (adapting to changes and challenges), is one of the best skills we can have and hone.

Say YES today, be happy whatever you set your mind to doing.  No matter the weather, it doesnt’ matter if it rains or shines, whether you are happy or not … is determined by YOUR state of mind.

You own the day.

caught in time

DSC00233

There are moments when I am caught up in what I see.  We were in a drive through, when suddenly an ordinary moment became one of dimension and depth.

DSC00234

I was drawn into another world, each blade, each stem took on personality of its own. I wanted to capture that moment, and I did.  It all took place in probably less than a minute.

PL Precept #19

Begin Once you Perceive

Even now, hours later, when I look at that moment in time, these pictures, speak volumes to me. I want to experience every blade. each leaf, and discover the marvel of the textures in the bark

How awesome.  Simplicity, I was inspired, I took action, and I’m blessed now with the happy feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction… Life is good.I so love being part of it.  Thank you for sharing the journey with me. =^_^=

a leap of faith

DSC00200

There is such beauty and grace

when a horse and rider

take flight and together

mount the challenge

and conquer the moment

DSC00204

the moment didn’t just happen

the rider and the horse

trained and trained

both were ready for the challenge

they both faced

and when the time came

they flew as one

that moment shared

DSC00205

that bond, that connection

once forged

is like the nature that surrounds us

it will flow and ebb

but it will never end

faith,

when one believes

new experiences

always open up

begin each day with faith

that all your experiences in life

will carry you through

whatever comes your way

Thursday doors – A new day

DSC00191

some rooms are very small and confining

and if one could

they would keep you in that room

allowing only the essentials

not out of cruelty

but under the false illusion

they are protecting you

DSC00081

It is true that a door can shut out elements

restrict freedom

and bring with it the clouds of gray

like on a cold winters day

DSC00083

The beauty of a door

is that it is meant to open and close

one needs only to believe

they hold they key

and trust in me

we all do (hold the key)

DSC00082

appreciate the beauty of the door

understand that its presence

is not a menace

simply a challenge in that moment

tomorrow

tomorrow is guaranteed to come

and when it does

it is a brand new day

stay or walk away

for YOU

hold the key  (you really do)

to your destiny
