THANKSGIVING MAGIC !!

This Thanksgiving Weekend in my part of the world

I managed to see and smell so very much.

In the park pond these three ducks wouldn't have anything to do with me.

~ everything straight into the air for us ~

This monstrous mossy laden tree 

really was an eye-catcher

even for a DOODLE.

Slipping through the side streets of Halifax

is always a colourful treat

and

with so much construction going on

we found new/old homes

"the nouveau riche"

taking over neighbourhoods.

Very exciting I guess!

Then before we knew it we made a visit to Martinique Beach

a good hour and 1/2 drive from the city.

We came upon a busload of kayakers from the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec.

The surf was perfect for them

~ but ~

I only had my eye on Daddy Ron.

~~ SEE ~~

There now do you believe me?!!

Pinpoint DOODLE accuracy for my Daddy.

He is not going to get away from me.

However the moment of tranquility and peace

was sitting in the back seat of the car

as I stared at all these lights

NEON LIGHTS

while hamburgers were making their way to us.

The neon lights seemed to have a magic all their own.

Just like I wish for all of your

Have a magical weekend 

from us on our 

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND !!

BIRDS ~~ THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!

Sitting quietly in the car at the park

taking in the view below

knowing that tranquility came be long-lived or momentary

then an avalanche of feathers tumbled out of the sky

landing ever so neatly

on the pavement beside our neighbour's car

the onslaught continued

with grace and beauty

with movement so fast

so precise

that the myriad of birds all sorts

seemed to know exactly what to do

only permitted to feed within a few minutes

almost discussing who's to drop in next

to alight upon this vehicle to receive treats

and delight all onlookers who luckily had their camera phones ready

I reckon this happens daily

with the amount of birds spilling out of the heavens.

I can only say it had me intrigued!

Don't know about Jim though!?!



FEELING THANKFUL

Take a moment for yourselves today, folks.

Find that place of tranquility with your loved ones

or even by yourself.

Spending time close to your best friend

enjoying the connection 

the ease of movement

between yourselves

in this big vast world we live in

once in awhile it feels just right to experience the world 

by yourself

singularly

to gracefully make landing

without worry or anticipation

to take your pictures 

as you see them

and be thankful

for what you have

and 

who you have

in your small universe.

~~

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends

and

to all those that feel thankful 

anywhere in the world.
