I miss the wild turkeys, they have not been around since late fall. I know they are around in other places, but there has not been one in the Mer bleu area for weeks on end. This picture is one taken my Ottawa wildlife Photographer Michel Lanthier https://www.facebook.com/michel.lanthier.79
Life is good, life is full of possibilities, enjoy!

Enjoy the fresh fallen snow. Have a wonderful day!
Look at this bird, can you dig his/her haircut.. I was gob smacked when Michel posted this first picture, then I saw his two follow up pictures and knew I wanted to share this bird with you. Doesn’t she look like a Gertrude or maybe Harvey! Absolutely darling. You can find more of Michel Lanthier’s photos on FB https://www.facebook.com/michel.lanthier.79. He’d friended a fox, there are some great pictures of this little sweetheart on his photo pages.
I get asked why I go out everyday.. the answer is simple, I find much joy in sharing time with the wildlife, and in the nature they live in, It is in being out in the “world” that I get to experience and meet like minded “souls”… Thanksgiving is always a reminder that we have so much to be grateful, to the photographers who stand/wander in all kinds of weather, to share with us their “bounty” I send heartfelt gratitude…
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let’s live with gratitude towards everyone and everything all day today.

Accept everything with appreciation. Become a person who can be thankful for anything that happens to them. A person who is always thankful is a happy person.
Thank you… again and again… It feels great if someone tells you,, “thank you” even many times. By repeating this , become a person who comes up with the word “thank you” naturally.

Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

This beautiful capture of the mighty crow was taken by nature photographer, Michel Lanthier who delights us daily with his photography on the nature around us. https://www.facebook.com/michel.lanthier.79
His photographs of the wildlife he encounters on his daily treks always bring a smile..
These two pictures were taken by award winning photographer Darrell Larose. You see more of Darrell’s work by visiting his Instagram account, DarrellLarosePhoto. I am new to his work, & very taken by his pictures of the wildlife he encounters. You know I tried to get a picture of the muskrat I saw at Sarsaparilla Trail, to no avail. When I saw Darrell’s photos of a muskrat I asked permission to share them. (his pictures were taken in the west end at Mud Lake) so its not the save critter.. but just as cute.
If I’m learning anything these past months, its that the dedicated photographers out there that capture the wonderful wild life that is around .. are not only patient and skilled at their craft, they will occasionally share . From my experience they are also willing to help a beginner =^_^=
Since Chris was going back in time today, I took the liberty of snitching some of his older pictures of doors. Chris is an amazing collector of “sights” I love spending time wandering his library of pictures. Do you recall the years these were taken Chris?
Enjoy… the one on the ferry is a fun capture, how often have I ridden a ferry, but not thought of taking a picture of the doors. I know Chris was focused on the Zoo advertisment… but HEY I’m a door chaser.
I’m usually easy going, I do have an opinion, when asked, I have always done my best to be honest with my reply, if I disagree, I tend to soften my stand, unless it is something that really is important.
Today I was asked about whether or not our church should open for Thanksgiving service on the 21st. Contrary to what was said by someone who does not come to the church at all, I feel it should be open for those who would like to attend, observing of course, social distancing, and the wearing of a face mask. Because our members are scattered all across Canada, the actual numbers who can or would physically attend has always been low in number.
Those of us who find comfort in being in the church, some have been with the church since it was built. (the new one).. It is our home, our sanctuary . PL has always been unique in how it offers personal guidance responding to problems of our every day lives.
It is through consultations given by PL ministers, the personal guidance tailored to the individual character and situation that makes PL such a bonding experience.
That the question even needed to be asked.. (.. WOW..) Needless to say, I disagreed with the statement that we stay closed, … and I spoke out. These past weeks have made me realize, that too often, doors are closed, and the support that should be available is withdrawn.
Ministers are front line care givers. Not only the physical body needs to be addressed, now more then ever, we need to feed, heal and nurture our spirits.
The above picture immediately reminded of a dream I had years ago. Yes the picture took me back to a hike that my Mother had organized when she was a leader in CGIT, (Canadian Girls in Training) My Dad had come with us to share in the experience and take pictures. Taking pictures was his passion, this picture is much like the interpretation of the moment, he would have shared,
Canadian Girls in Training, or CGIT, is a church-based program for girls and young women aged 11–17 throughout Canada.[1] Girls who join the CGIT vow to “Cherish Health, Seek Truth, Know God, Serve Others and thus, with [Jesus’] help, become the girl God would have me be”. (Wikipedia)
My education began at an early age (to be of service, and dedicate my life to helping and being there for others) I don’t know why Dave chose to publish the photo in these muted tones, but he did and for me it was breath taking. I wanted to share this picture of his for two reason.. one because I found it to be so touching and poignant. And 2, I feel it will “talk” to others in a way, words can’t.
Good or Bad it is your mirror. Sincere expressions invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble.

The hike was in the Gatineau Hills, Quebec, Canada, the photo Dave took was in Pennsylvania. USA =^_^=
Have a banana-rama Saturday everyone. Catch the rays, ride the trails, simply kick back relax and enjoy what the world has to offer.
Listen ** See ** Accept ***
PL calendar #24 Focus your “eyes” and “ears” towards the expression of others without any preconceived notions. Then you will be able to see their true intentions.
Listen and See with Careful attention and Accept Each Other
Appreciate the colourful personalities of the people around you and enjoy their uniqueness to the fullest
Life’s journey is never a super highway, it is full of unexpected stops, and detours along the way. Remember it is not the destination, but the journey itself that is rewarding. When we are faced with the unexpected, stop and appreciate the diversion, it is happening for a reason. The details might not be clear to you at the time, but if we believe, and have faith, God/Universe will see us through. Love is unconditional. Love sometimes is having to be different. Let Go… Let God.
