look at her lines
isn’t she a beauty
to think, when I was younger
there was no way I would
ever have considered
owning an American car
my first car was British
the second a Renault
now, when I see one of these babies
I just have to stop and admire
I’m captivated
down to the white wall tires
would I trade my truck
for a vintage classic
NO
but I do love looking at them
=^_^=
any guesses as to the year of this beauty!

are enjoyable and great

I once sat down with a wood burning tool and enjoyed the moment
now, I can’t even tell you where this piece is
live the moment, enjoy the experience
then, let it go
material things, will come and go
true love
is with us forever

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

There is something enduring about older vehicles
when you opened a door or closed one
there was a “feel” to it, that doesn’t come with the automobiles of today.

Happy Thursday everyone!
does this take you on a trip down memory lane?

Many of you will remember the story of Cinderella and the glass shoes. It has been interesting over the years watching as the storylines that are shown, in the “romantic” interest themes are so different. Today’s young do not wait for their prince charming to come and rescue them from their life of toil and grime.
I felt the hurt, a couldn’t stop the single tear from falling
you saw my pain, and gently wiped it dry
We played with dolls, we dressed them, told them stories, cared for them, till the time came, when they were put on a shelf, and left there to amuse themselves, they were part of our past.
we fell in love, every day was sun filled
I walked on air and saw every petal of the single rose
you brought to me each day
I dried the petals and safely tucked them away
I knew I would keep and cherish them all my days
Time changes us, sometimes we stay on the same path that our love is on, and often times, as the world opens up to us, we find ourselves in different parts of the city, coming home only to eat, sleep and then we return to the life we have in another part of the “world’…. yes world, because the world we shared with someone at a different time and space, is now no longer where our daily focus is.. Our world has gotten bigger and with it, our thoughts and wants are no longer the same.
One day I asked myself, what was in that pretty vase
for I had long gone past the time
when it was part of what I did that mattered in my every day.
Some of us, can smile, remember the memory and move on. We clean out the vase, and either give it away, or put it to another use … something more in step with how we are … today…
Once upon a time
this was an acreage of vibrant life
that rang with the call of birds,
who had their homes in the trees that stood there
now the land has been cleared
the wild life that had called this area their home
have had to move on
change is the only constant in life
fairy tales, are a part of growing up
the reality we live
through our journey in life
the character we build
the lessons we learn along the way
these are what takes us into beyond
Love is everywhere
love IS forever
material possessions are temporary
the only love that last forever
is one that is free to BE
True love transcends all earthly boundaries
and it all begins
within

Like what is that! That is a picture of my fossil purse, (texture) I bought this one a couple of years ago while wandering downtown in a high-end shopping outlet that draws tourists. It was a purchase that I made in one of my “gotta have” moments. No real reason or rhyme, I just really took to the bag. It wasn’t even a style that went with “my lifestyle” or manner of dress. I just liked it.. it was one of the moments where you see something and .. you don’t think of the price, or what you’ll do with, how you’ll incorporate into your wardrobe.. you just buy it and bring it home.
These are pictures of clocks I found but resisted. I stood there and considered them, appreciated them, but didn’t get to the stage where I REALLY wanted them.. so I took their pictures instead.
Now what does that tell you, have I changed my shopping M.O. noooo, just found an easier way to enjoy some of the treasures I find, and not end up with a lot of clutter, “just because”
I also discovered Jo-Annes, I knew the one store, but had not experienced the store in a bigger city centre… had a great time.. here I did come out with a rather full bag of goodies. The fact that I was unable to use my lap top for most of my time away, contributed a lot to the items I was gathering since they are tools of the trade, that fuel my creativity in a manner that will bring in extra pennies. =^_^=
I found these interesting, who and how can anyone wear such high heels. Gone are those days for me, I did find the decoration down the back of the heel fun, so they made the photo capture, and so did this little doll. cute as a button, but certainly not something i was going to come home with.
Now this cheerful little fellow, he was cute too. Since I have a friend who delights in rooting for the Flyers, I only thought it fitting to perhaps, send some Penguin cheer his way, for those of you reading this, Flyers and Penguins are hockey teams. I think the Penguins are doing well??? obiously they are a happy lot. 
I can see all my friends out there, chuckling over my time away with that knowing.. there she goes again, shopping… Ha.. on you. I wasn’t shopping I was on a photo excursion. Let me look, I’ll show you a picture that had nothing to do with being in a treasure shop.
This was a charming church we found on our way from Syracuse to Watertown, It appealed to me enough that we circled around and parked so I could catch it for you. You were on my mind all the time.. always, I was looking for subjects that could or might interest you. (really) nooo you did not see the sign on the ground, besides the shop was closed.
Really we had a great time and weather, except for when we tried to see the falls, in Niagara Falls, both Canadian side and American, There we encountered rain mist,fog,clouds,etc. so thick that we saw absolutely nothing of the falls themselves.
.. I missed reading your posts, following along on your adventures, discovering new far away places, that those of you who are travelling keep us waiting for the next chapter and verse with delightful captures. I obviously have more pictures, but there is lots of time ahead. For now just wanted to say I’m back. Oh and quickly, I discovered on the Canadian side, another one of those designer outlet malls, and… err… I now own another purse like the one I started this blog with.. only in blue. I was over the moon.. really.. Canadian funds even!!!!
Can a Puffin count for a penguin?
The only vintage cars I found this time, were models, good ones, but not good enough to bring back with me.
I have totally left the building, when I find myself again, I’ll be back..
Meanwhile.. Happy Monday everyone!

PS I am unable at this time to find another file of pictures.. you have been spared.
Smile and be happy !
Good Morning, thought I’d show you the snow outside the house today, it isn’t so pretty today. After the huge storm of the other day, dropping over 50 plus centimeters on us, we still have a lot of it piled on the streets. It is cloudy and overcast, and with the sidewalk plow having gone by, well this is what we can see. This is the pile along the street, and below is the snow on our front lawn.
The blue spruce is playing peek-a-boo, happy that we put a barrier between it and the sidewalk. Not every day is sunny, and not all days bring out the crystal lights in the snow. But it is still the same snow we love to see when the sun shines merrily on it, dazzling us with its glittering display. I’m not a skier, but when I did do X-country, the wet snow of day such as this, was sloppy. Temperatures are going up and the snow out there is being rained on.
Even the house has lost its country cottage charm this morning. A positive here, I see the bird feeder needs more seed. Actually, I loved the vintage, look when we bought ther house, and even today, as I see her braving yet another winter…I admire how she has stood the test of time. They the weather forecasters, tell us it will be a cloudy wet day, all day. As the temperature rises, the streets will really get mushy. Hmmm choices, stay in, go out, its darn warm and cosy inside, and I certainly have a lot of projects and things to do… isn’t it wonderful to have all these choices. =^_^= we can sit and share a cuppa tea/coffee..
Luckily I share my world with other bloggers who travel the globe and live scattered all over the world. I know they’ll be dropping in during the day with stories of their own. Many will bring a ton of sunshine they’ve captured here and there. No matter where we are in the world, we are always sharing life/the Universe with others. In today’s world of the internet and social media, we can cultivate and explore all parts of the world, make new friends, and best of all, we thrive, we grow when we allow friendships to blossom and bloom. In exploring the various dimensions of ourSELVES through the friendships we make, our world as we know it, expands, we know that what is outside our door today, is only a moment in time.. in this very same moment and time, a friend is basking in sunshine on a mountain top or sandy beach.
