Trees

The Hanging Tree

This photo is from little mountain park in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is very old and legend has it that it was used for public hangings. That is not quite why I am thinking trees though. It is fall and I read some interesting articles about trees and people. We have a symbiotic relationship to them, as a tree exhales oxygen, we inhale, and as we exhale carbon dioxide, the tree inhales. It seemed to be such a beautiful connection. "i thank you God for the leaping greenly spirits of trees" e.e.cummings. Does anyone know what comes next?

Dreamtime

With autumn here and winter approaching we come to the time of introspection. Look deep inside to your roots and gather your strength around you. We spent two hours at the dog park today. The colours, scents, and sounds of fall were in the air. It was a glorious day. Thank you fixit and Lucy.  Miss Lucy was even catching feathers from some poor bird, whose fate I do not know.

Beautiful, glorious autumn!!

This is a look at one of the dog parks we sometimes go to for a change. Little Mountain Park, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnipeg has the largest urban forest in north America. It is a beautiful city, most streets are tree lined (both sides) so it seems that you are driving through green tunnels. There are acres of park grounds and in our case, thank goodness, acres of dog park grounds!

Mandala

My first attempt at a mandala. Everything means something, a little from all the directions, north, south, east and west. Seems a little busy and messy, I guess it is a reflection of inner self.

I was blessed to grow up here. This was pretty much my back yard.

10 hours in the car with 2 great dogs

You know I love those dogs, but driving to my dad's with them was a bit much. Lucy, the neurotic border collie, actually had to drive all the way with her head out my window. What a windblown look after 100 kms an hour. Now they can say they swam in Lake Superior! At least they got their toes wet.
