lake Ontario love ♥ ...

"She had the Spirit

of the Sun

the Moods

of the Moon

the Will

of the Wind"

~Julie Cantrell~

I am forever grateful to live in such a beautiful corner of the world ♥

daily walks along lake Ontario fill my heart and soul

with serenity and gratitude

watching the boats

the waves ... they were crashing this morning...

the salty scent from the water and the sound of waves raising

as I walked absorbing her energy & giving her mine

seeing "images" in driftwood

and watching the blades of grass sway

wild flowers

reaching for the sun

they know what to do

sweet sitting {meditation} spot

flocks of geese

carved paths luring me towards the sand ... time for some

barefoot walking :-D

"Make your heart

like a lake,

 with a calm, still surface,

and great depths of kindness"

~Lao Tzu~

monday musing ...

"It is not easy to walk alone

in the country

without musing

upon something"

~Charles Dickens~

Sunday Serenity

"I like to walk.

Touch living Mother Earth ~

bare feet best,

and thrill

every step.

Used to envy

happy reptiles

that had the advantage

of so much body

in contact with earth,

bosom to bosom.

{We} live with our heels

as well as head

and most of our pleasure

comes that way"

~John Muir~

... a mish mash of photos from my week ♥

after a very busy day, I stumbled across this sweet turtle

who was basking in the sunshine.

he would lift his little head up to the sun, eyes glistening, in pure bliss.

I found a nearby rock at the edge of the pond and sat just watching him and smiling.

he stretched out one arm ... then another ... and slid into the cool water.

beautiful blooms

hello

stopped to listen to a sparrow serenade ♥

such beauty!

do you see the butterfly?

~happy Sunday~

Thankful {things I love} Thursday ...

Early morning walks along the beach

driftwood

watching the waves

finding beach glass

and the prettiest little rocks

to fill our pockets

Thankful for days away like these ♥

Thankful {things I love} Thursday

Welcome Autumn Equinox

Celebrating the first day of my favourite season

fallen leaves fill our walking path

with colours of

yellow * red * gold * green

plump sunflowers left 

 for the birds to enjoy their seeds

pumpkins

I love it all!

Hope you are having a wonderful day filled with Autumn joys!

***

The cheerful

joyous season.

The Autumn time is come.

With song and shout

we welcome

the golden harvest home.

Nature's garlands ♥

Bees

Pops of colour

A cool spot to rest

A life well lived

One of my favourite trees along the Avon river ...

and the best company ...

do it badly;

do it slowly;

do it fearfully;

do it

any way you have to;

but

do it.

~Steve Chandler~
