I visited with them for almost an hour, the guests just kept arriving. In the afternoon at a different location, I had cardinals, chickadees, sparrows (several varieties ) starlings and a couple I didn’t recognize. In the morning I also brunched with crows, MANY crows.. Yesterday you could say was a day for the birds and wildlife. * I didn’t get pictures of the nuthatches/chickadees/BlueJays or woodpeckers.. there was too much movement (there had to be close to a dozen Bluejays) around me. *Note.. there is a place or two now for those of you who bring a small stool or folding chair to sit and enjoy.
Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you, when you are happy or when you ae troubled.. Also, it will be a good chance for you to get to know others.

Have a good day everyone..


It has been raining these past few mornings, still the little ones come for breakfast, Photographer Jim Robertson was out the other morning, and captured these two regulars. (https://adobe.ly/3QB6AOc ) It never fails to amaze me how sweet and friendly the little critters are. The Chipmunks can be hard to see as they gather up the corn, nuts, seeds amongst the leaves. The nuthatch can be bold… but usually behaves when strangers come by,
Put Makoto even into small things, Don’t let things go with “oh well” you will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) in all you do.

Respect the existence of each other. The world consists of people with different circumstances and different lifestyles. Respect and understand each other,

Which path to take… I’m learning from the turkeys… at first .. I was ” pleased” .. yes that would be the word … they charmed me by coming to eat when they saw me.. now I’m spending more time with them, I am learning, it is their world, and they really do have their own way of navigating the woodlands and surrounding fields. I am humbled that they accept to interact with me when they do. I stay on the paths, while they get to roam free under the overgrown or tumbled over branches and vegetation. Their stamina and ability to travel great distances in short periods of time is teaching me (reminding me) to focus and be in the moment. Live it.. appreciate the moment and move on.
I am a visitor in their world.
Smiles are the world’s treasure. If you smile more, there will be more smiles in the world. Be one of those who makes more smiles

Yesterday I really felt that I should make more of an effort to be like the turkeys .. I should walk the trail enjoying the walk, not focus on getting the walk done … Looking at the trail is not walking it.


Do things joyfully instead of taking it easy. Enthusiastically engage with what’s in front of you. You’ll enjoy it more.

I’m finding great comfort in spending time with the birds. I’ve even got my trunk set up like a cafeteria, every-thing ready for me to access when I get to the feeding areas. Some days it is just too cold to be fiddling with seed bags that are still factory sealed, Or get to the suet blocks that are still in their retail packaging.
I have been eyeing some of the cameras and the special lens attachments that the serious cameramen are toting. So far I’ve only gotten to the stage where I am making enquiries .. and talking to them about their equipment. The reality at the moment is that by the time I get to the feeders, asses what needs to be replaced, fill and relocate feeder trays etc. I’m usually dealing with frozen fingers.
Live radiantly as the sun. Strive to always be bright and cheerful so you can enliven those around you.

Happiness is spending time with YOU.

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.

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

These animals became best buds. A lion a bear and a tiger, they live in harmony and share a special friendship. Found on today.com, they are in a sanctuary in Georgia. If they can do it, why do we humans have such a hard time of accepting differences (appearances) in others??
Hmm is he/she having a bad day? We all have them, each and every one of us. No exceptions. Just remember, the moment passes, it always does!
When push comes to shove, there is usually always someone to help out. We might not always be around to see it, but acts of kindness happen every day. They simply are not what we hear about, except during the holiday season. Why is that?
This fellow seems to be as one viewer commented, hailing a cab, I think he’s giving us the high 5! Although I don’t think I want to tickle his tummy, I do appreciate his beauty. He looks well groomed don’t you think? He’d give a mean bear hug.
These black bear cubs were wrestling in the cottonwood tree when they got sleepy and fell asleep in the middle of their play. Did you go ” awwww’ and want to join in on the hug…? Life is beautiful, Life is full of caring and wonderful moments of simply ” BE”ing. Try it you may like it =^_^=
This is the end of my beary interesting visit, I hope you have a fun and delightful day from beginning to end,. If you’ve managed a smile through any of this, pass it on.
Namaste – Oyashikiri
