Food prep of fresh vegetables...and the meal was pretty good too! :)

152

A lovely leisurely Sunday...
Thank you EQ, Scott and Idlewild for an enchanting summer weekend!

151

City mice go to the country.
Under bright skies and a hot sun, carrot seeds and marigolds are planted...A lovely dinner and evening's symphony + choral performance are wonderful...

150

Garage doors that I see every day.
On summer evenings, we will often sit across from these doors with a cocktail and watch the street go by. Taking a few steps closer brings a whole new perspective...Imagine that!

149

The adventures of Lisbeth continue..wild and intriguing, I am torn between wanting to finish it and not wanting it to end...

148

A broken air conditioner, a hot summery day and the release of the final adventures of Lisbeth Salander add up to a perfect day reading outside.

147

Flowers in bloom everywhere in the neighbourhood...a hot orange poppy for a hot summery day...

146

A hot and sunny holiday Monday.
We take a bicycle ride passing Cherry Beach ending at Ashbridges Bay.
Above the water and the rocks, a lone tulip glows in the sunlight.

A great long weekend. Happy Victoria Day!

145

A hot summery day in spring...
The morning is filled with inspired flashes looking for expression in a photo...
Sitting amongst dandelions in the park we have a lunch picnic and a leisurely bike ride...
Long weekends of summer are a good thing....

144

Inspiration is everywhere...
Through flickr, contacts have been made
inspiring, encouraging and supportive

buddhagirlAZ and thoughts on alchemy, spring, and green...thank you. :)

early morning sunlight streams through the blinds
a strong breeze enters
an open window
dance with the music of moving blinds
and the dancing shadows
with light

142

The iris continues its spring bloom dance with the sun, rain, and wind.
It is a warm and perfect sunny spring day.

141

Looking at the geranium buds and blooms today, I hear a voice from the past telling me, "I hate geraniums."
I wonder....if that voice saw the geranium as I see it today...
I hope they would see the life, light and colour I do.

Experiencing opportunity via change of perspective...

Thinking about water drops...

"Pass again from the heavenly realm
and plunge into the ocean of Consciousness.
Let the drop of water that is you
become a hundred mighty seas.

But do not think that the drop alone
becomes the Ocean—
the Ocean, too, becomes the drop!"
Rumi

139

A new spring bloom in the garden, the magic of spring dances on...

138

Sunshine, blue skies, warm temperatures...a beautiful spring day.

137

Perhaps it is not so obvious as a single door...the bonds of connections everywhere... in every part of life....
Does such as thing as the "right door" exist?

136

Perfect squares appear as doors with sunlight streaming through.
Choices are many - all appear bright and safe.
Is only one door the "right" one?

135

134

The day began considering social networks and a different way to consider personal networks....and continued with thoughts on our planet's waters...returning from the market, the geranium glows in the rays of the sun...the connectedness of all...experienced in a budding geranium....

133

Cooking black beans, the fresh and crisp vegetables called out for a photo to be taken...

132

Crisp blue skies, a warm sun and light breezes...Our neighbour's peonies in full bloom cause the passerbys to pause and take in their beauty....a perfectly beautiful spring day.

131

Springtime...Mother's Day...
Good to clean up for a mother's day gathering.
Thank you to all the mothers out there.

130

The flowers were given to us by our neighbour. Cut off from the tree on the side of the house, the flowers are a wonderful delight to arrange in the house.
Knowing that we received them from our neighbour and that they have been shared with others, connects me to my neighborhood, by accident and not by plan. I am reminded of thoughts from the shack - good and evil, light and darkness....evil and darkness are defined as the absence of good and light..all existing with the other by definition....

129

Looking a few centimeters up from the snail's view, is a whole new colourful world.

128

After the night rain, the earth is moist, dark, rich and alive. Weeding the garden brings me to the small world of snails. A moment watching as a snail pokes its head out and starts to move out of the light. Amazing what an experience can be had when considering a completely different perspective.

127

Beautiful morning shadows in the blinds...
"Hey, why doesn't someone say
this dull black and white should fall away
Please, tell me it's not just me
Can't wait until we're all bright grey...
Bright grey" Joe Jackson

126

A day shared with friends catching up on the adventures of the last 4 months.... Feasting on Korean Barbeque at home, the past and present meet in merriment and the joy of friendship...happy to be home.

125

Driving home into the sunset...Another incredible jazz fest...experiencing music, food, plantations, and both past and present Louisiana life with a fabulous group of flexitarians...Thank you!

124

Brunching today at the birthplace of the Jazz Brunch. From there, we take a tour with Al to the Oak Alley and Laura plantations...a moment to connect back to the history of the Creole plantation life...A perfect afternoon in the Louisiana rain...

123

Three days at jazz fest...closing out with Aaron Neville in the gospel tent with his fabulous brother Charles...
New Orleans...
"We love you. We appreciate you. We hope you invite us back"
