So pretty, so bright, little dandelion

you are the Bee’s delight


DSC00380

no matter where you grow, 

your golden glow

will beckon

and of course, euphorbia polychroma

the dense tuft of surprisingly green leaves

and lovely bright yellow bracts

DSC00385

reaching for the skies 

the magnolia tree is preparing to shine

in a day or two

these delicate  fuchsia buds will open

DSC00386

the deep defined leaves of the ivy 

have started their climb

DSC00387

soon the buddha will be covered

not smothered,

but dressed in a living cloak or vest

next to the corkscrew hazel

this Amur maple has

started to protest the long winter

and is showing her strong desire

to break free and thrive again

DSC00377

all around

new growth abounds

the ground has come alive

and so my dears, have I

for like the seasons

each day is a new beginning

as the bees stir and begin their quests

the delicious dandelions

awaits their visit

Yay another day has begun

Happy Wednesday everyone!

The beauty of NOW

DSC00365

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

wordless wednesday -reno

April 2016 bird does reno

a woodpecker started last year to redo the head

this spring, another bird came along

did a reno inside, , to make,his/her bed

a nest,  a place to rest

we don’t mind

it is the best kind

of neighbour to have.

deja vu

DSC00350

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

DSC00351

“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.”

DSC00352

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.

DSC00353

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.

DSC00356

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

nearest  city – Cornwall, Ontario,Canada

love is….

DSC00357

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

DSC00358

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….

Wordless Wednesday – sort of

unseen faces

life in the garden,

not always seen when shrubs and trees are in full bloom

peeking

it is not always the obvious

that is at the core

of what IS

because we don’t see something

doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

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

DSC00250

it is a beautiful day

surely today will be the day

DSC00257

shadows play along the walls

racks wait patiently

to feel the weight of  their cargo

DSC00261

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

DSC00239

soon, soon enough,

the grounds will be alive with activity

the sailing season

will begin

DSC00254

for now the few

who have come to enjoy

are blessed with a tranquil day

and open spaces of exquisite joy
