1497. off to see the wizard

 

all of a sudden

a yellow brick road appears

for us to walk on 🦊❤️

Our walks together are often a time that we talk about “lofty life stuff”. Sometimes it is like we are on the yellow brick road looking for the Great Oz.  Some days we get a glimpse of Him… 🦊❤️

1496. eye of the beholder

 

glistening blacktop

it’s the perfect canvas for

a fresco of leaves 🦊❤️

The more that you immerse yourself in art, regardless of how, the more that you will see things around you become art. 🦊❤️

1495. meteoric meow

 

like a meteor

you streak across the meadow

three feet off the ground 🦊❤️

Every once in a while I snap a photograph that captures things I don’t realize until later.  That is the case with this sleek kitty that caught my eye as it streaked across the meadow.  “Three feet off the ground”. 🦊❤️

1494. imaginary friends

 

on this early morn 

two mourning doves start the day

just like yestermorn 🦊❤️

For as long as I can remember there have been two Mourning Doves occupying the tree that is adjacent to my deck.  I especially like seeing them perching there just before dawn.  When the limbs are bare and snowy is another favorite time. It’s really special when they build a nest there. I like to pretend that they are the same two doves that first showed up many years ago. Two timeless and everlasting Mourning Doves that like being near my home. There they are again as I write today’s post.  I wish I could show it to them. 🦊❤️

1493. willow

 

moving stealthily 

like a furry roomba vac

spirits need not eyes 🦊❤️

I have added a new cat to my exclusive club of  “cool kats”. Meet Willow who is totally blind. She doesn’t allow not being able to see to stand in her way.  She comes and goes quietly like a spirit - all of a sudden she is there.  She makes her way through the rooms like a furry Roomba Vacuum robot.  She is a lesson in life to watch. 🦊❤️

1492. unplugging

 

sitting… being still

my “do switch” toggled to off

the world just went on 🦊❤️

Sitting still is hard for me.  But when I do just sit still and resist “doing things” I like to sit in a quiet little corner of my apartment. I like to turn my head and look out the window while I am still.  I can see the branches blowing, cars going by, rain falling, neighbors walking their dogs, etc. etc.  It all goes on without me just fine!!!! 🦊❤️

1491. zen via zoom

as the buddha looks on

the yoga teacher prepares

to zoom out the zen 🦊

Whether it is cooking, folding origami paper or preparing for the zoom Yoga classes that she teaches, Yulan  is always totally “in the moment”.  Even Buddha looks on in admiration.  🦊❤️
