green everywhere

I am blown away by some of the photographs that fellow bloggers post. There are several who capture the most amazing pictures of flowers, not just the flower, but their artist reproduction of it as they see it through their lens is very interesting.

Living in the city, right next to the downtown core, the object of our landscaping when we bought, was to allow nature to grow and give us a bit of country in our own private space. Perennials were fine while the trees and shrubs were growing, but as the bones of the garden grew, the perennials soon lost their place in the sun. Add two active dogs to the mix, and… …. we now enjoy the serenity of an escape from the concrete and buildings around us, but have lost the colour of the annuals and perennials.

This is only the beginning of June. The garden is only beginning its journey into the growing seasons. So when I say “Wow, amazing” to my wonderful blogger pals, it is because I’m totally enjoying life through your photography and stories. Thank you.

Life is gray without friends, my world is full of colour, I am truly blessed.

Where did Saturday go

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

chop suey Friday 6.3.2016

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.

the more I use the camera, the more I love 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

Wordless Wednesday, almost

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.

revealing

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

chop suey Friday

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.

Thursday Doors – Mohawk Territory

barred

closed

no tresspassing

that is what the sign says

looking at the doors

I want in

sometimes in life

the words

and the visual

just don’t “jive”

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things

These doors – say “Happy”

Maybe someday they will once more open in

Welcome
