Contemplative Monday

that protection becomes like armor,
like armor that imprisons the softness of the heart."

No arguing that Cher is and has been in control of her career.

We saw her in concert a few years ago and she definitely has a message.....
it is a 'woman's world'.....the way it ought to be.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

Saturday Morning Post



A week in September in Nova Scotia......


When processing this photo of a woman walking her dogs at the park,
I showed it to Ron and asked who this looked like.
We both agreed that it looked like his mother.....her stance/gesture in walking,
the clothes and colour, and her hair style.
It gave us both a very warm and grateful feeling.


From my perch at the shop.....


Fog, glass and flowers....


Entrance #6 at Martinique Beach.....


Life and death on the beach.....


I 'found' (love the hunt) this chrome advertising stool 
in the Valley last week. I put it in the shop
and 'away' it went!!


This road at the park in Halifax leads to one of two container piers
in Halifax Harbour......the orange cranes are GIGANTIC.


Moored....


Sophie and Ron are always ahead of me......
guess he has his 'second wind' back.


Beach life.....


Windy at Martinque Beach this week....


Ron 'popping' his spine after a long walk at the park....


Halfway down Martinque Beach.......

In these waning days of summer I could only think of this tune
by Ella Fitzgerald to usher us through the end of this season.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
