REFLECTIONS IN A TEAL POND

Now that I have your undivided attention,

have a listen to my video today

it may help to shoo that  Monday morning yuckiness away

I told you that you'd feel a bit better

just even if you tap your toes and fingers,

I would settle for that.

This pond at the park has always been slightly off our regular sojourn,

so today we decided to check it out and

it was well worth the detour.

Calm serene reflections

with a hint of a beat.

Come on along and if your sniffer is working well ~~

You just might enjoy my favourite wild heavily-scented Mayflower

Jim does because he zeroing in on a bunch behind me.

ENJOY!

PEACE & SERENITY TO ALL!

MAYFLOWERS!!!

While I sniff out a possible munchy treat,

Jim has discovered a patch of Mayflowers

or Trailing Arbutus 

the floral emblem of Nova Scotia.

These small, beautiful, fragrant flowers can be found on the sunny side of trails

sometimes in the most precarious of places.

Short video gives you an idea of what the Mayflower looks like.

(pls forgive the blurriness 1/2 way through)

Mr. Orangie and I waited patiently for the Mayflower photo session to be over.

Then from out of nowhere come 3, yes 3, Doodles!

Sorry nor sharing today guys/gals!

Look at them with their laser eyes on me!

They skedaddled away as Jim watches them.

Doodles always get his attention.

Back to more important things

MAYFLOWERS!!!

Don't we blend in well!

So I scooted up over the hill into the brush and 

located a 

well-hidden bunch of Mayflowers 

for 

Mr. Jim to photo!

Much greener leaves and much more fragrant.

Success!

OK, it's time to head for my old castle!

Remember we were here in January!

If not go HERE for a refresher!!
