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

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

Native Renaissance ll
Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Deseronto, Ontario
Spent a wonderful time exploring the inside of this shop. Original sculptures, collectibles, jewelry along with music from award winning Thomas B. Maracle. We were passing through and I didn’t get the time I needed to see everything I wanted to see. I Understand there is also a recording studio there that I would have liked to explore, and obviously to hear music that has been produced there. http://www.nativerenaissance.com/
What I did find there, was this wonderful painting that had been done, used for advertising (guessing) and then left to linger in the elements, I so wanted to rescue it.. but left it for someone else to enjoy and discover. Instead I took a picture.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I looked and saw “beauty”… someone else may see nothing at all, but the little otter, swimming along with his friends, the giant turtle and the pesky beaver (?) , left me wanting to know more about their journey, and the man who painted them.
A journey without an ending? We will never know. If you travel that way, say hello.

now is the moment
now here in the present is the time
this is when you can capture the bloom
tomorrow, same time, same place
it just won’t be the same
we cannot retrace our steps
and relive that moment
we need to experience today
for right now
this moment
will be with us always
till a new moment dawns
then my precious
my darling
my own
the excitement
the passion
will be reborn

PL Precept # 11 Always be with God
text,photography my own (Q)
I knew this place nestled in the trees, it came back to me, a very distant memory
The closer I got, the stronger the story line, from a time way before I walked this earth.
The trees were not as mature, in fact most, except the one, were but seedlings in the ground
“Father farmed the land for miles around. The nearest neighbour was a day away, unless of course, it was a Sunday, and we could hitch the horses to the small cart. We would all dress in our Sunday best to ride into the closest settlement, otherwise, we spent our days tending to chores and learning to read by candlelight, once all animals had been bedded and we could rest before we ourselves had to head up the stairs to bed.”
I couldn’t resist a look inside, sure enough the stairs were still there, but somehow the rest of the living area had been taken down and left to be dealt with another day. I did consider going in, to see if I could still see out the window, from outside, I saw it was still there.
Reality is, it was another time, and the youngster who grew up there, was long gone. The world has vastly changed, and now, this home that was, sits alone in an isolated little woodland, on the edge of big farming complex.
The windows of the past, that we encounter today, fascinate and intrigue me. Similar to the interest I have in doors, doorways and entryways, the questions, the storylines, the hazy visions into what was, could have been, or could be……….. never cease to delight and titillate my creative cells.
life is a journey of discoveries
to be savoured
and enjoyed

photography & text Q (mine)
nearest city – Cornwall, Ontario,Canada
I’ve lived all my life without ever having felt such an immediate connection
I knew that there was a horse in the paddock
his beauty I could see when we drove in
however, my focus was on the man raking the leaves
he was who we had come up the drive to see
when I disembarked from the truck
2 mature and protective great danes came to greet me
although strangers, we all got along
the visit went with ease
when I turned to leave,
for some unknown reason,
it was not to the truck I went
but to the compelling figure at the fence
our eyes met, and I felt a sudden rush of recognition
of what I knew not what,
only that this handsome beast
knew my name and was wanting me closer
we met, we touched, both wanted more
how is it that I’ve never had a desire before to connect with a horse
I didn’t want to go, but I had to leave
will that moment come again,
I don’t know, but the encounter,
the soft muzzle, warm breath and gentle nudge
is etched in my memory
it was a moment REALLY lived….
