Running clouds

Let the wind softly sway
the grass at the foot of
the majestic mountains
shadowed by the running
clouds.
The whistling wind is no
stranger to these parts.
A lizard will adventure
and breed a second of
respite reassuring himself
that no birds are around
the sturdy mountain flower
laughs off is thirst knowing
that is time is up, the sun
is the stronger giant in
the dry plains at the
foothills of the mountain...

Like a fool

Like a fool, I run with no objective.
My taughts are only for you,
then I stumble, fall and to no avail
try to retrace that road that has
vanished.
Still keeping my run,
again my taughts are following you.
To no avail that light brightening your
eyes were only for me, now no more.
Sitting on the edge of this great sea
my taughts are still  trying to
make sense of why that smile has gone with
the waves out of my life and my heart.
Where did I go wrong? what did I say,
that my taughts still can't figure out,
probably will never leave me, since
these are the last guardian of you
my lost angel... There is no star
bright or shining like you, but they
come back to tease me nightly, but
they forget that it's not you.
Goodnight my love, I will preserve
these taughts of you until you decide
to come back to me...

Millennium

"On a silent night,
shinning stars and sister moon,
say goodnight  to men who came to
them following their reflections on the sea
Reaching new adventurous destinations,
knowing to be brought back to the same sea
on any of their curious trips,
moon and stars ignoring that 
certain means can go faster than 
they did for millenniums, a race
that for sure we all know who's the winner..."

Happy 4th of july

To all my friends south of the border from
East to west coast
have a super duper 4TH OF JULY
festivities.

Heat

It's not normal for us Canadians to
be melting all at once.
Most selfish people close their doors
to the vulnerable, sick or babies.
PLEASE if you have or see anyone
in need of fresh air do not hesitate
to give them a little cold water, even
a gentle spray with a hose at the
hands and feet will help. 
Don't let or be foolish because
you are in a cool house,room or under
a tree.  Heat does not pardon stupidity
of humans against their fellow humans.

Take care Canada it won't last much
longer.

Fear of the silence

Silence please,
silence during these few moments.
A sound arriving from a faraway
distance finally reaches me.
Do I stop or continue my run,
will my feet finally stop and let
me concentrate, long enough to
make out the sound that just reached
me.
All my senses are in high alert,
almost to a deadly fear.
But no one is around, no wind
to play tricks, birds are hidden in
their tree branches not sure what to
expect, the older feathered friends
shielding their little ones to keep them
quiet at least until the danger feeling
passes by.
I feel a hiss or is it a warm breath
tickling my neck, or just my imagination
working overtime.  My blood seems
to boil and wants to let out steam but
my pores are closed-up.
Tingles run up and down my body
like a race track with no stopping end.
I turn around and around, I look up the
tree tops and down the flowing river,
a leaf is dancing around when no wind
is rustling between trees and my fear  is
rising by the seconds.
Clic cloc clic cloc when out of nowhere
appeared a deer, he looked straight into
my eyes and I into is eyes, both respecting
our territories & in unison we both turned
and continued our own ways.
All the fear fleeing my body and for sure
the deer body as well....

Sundown departure

"If you keep looking at my departure,
please do not despair,
I will be back and join you
in twenty four time,
will you still enjoy the show
that I put on for you,
wherever you may be.
Let my rays reach your heart,
warm your tired bones and inspire
your eyes to my beauties of this
world.....".

Eagle

"Let the eagle dare, 
give him all the space 
needed to spread his
wings through the 
mountains of this planet,
do not confine his life
and freedom for the
sake of man's pleasure....."

When you are sad...

When you are sad
just look at nature
and it's healing powers.

Just click - sorry for not having a little music to it.
Have a great day.

Let it shine

Just wandering how it works.
One of my experiment at the early stage...
If anyone has ideas how I can improve it,
please do not hesitate to leave me a
message.  See what this tiny video does.
Many thanks, La Canadienne.

Hope it works.

Tulips

When all the rest of the world has finished
seeing these blooming, they say goodbye until
next time.
In my part of the world
where spring is very lazy
in showing up, now is the
time to enjoy these.
They are everywhere
an inch of earth is available
they grow wild or in different
settings.  Some are manicured
by humans, other just grow and
die slowly. 
They are colored or just white,
they are frizzy or plain, they shine
through the sunlight or give
shadows just enough to make you
stop and look at them ...
They are the Canadian Tulips.

Speak of her

"When you speak of her,
speak not with tears,
for thoughts of her should
not be sad ones. 
Let memories of the times
you shared together
give you comfort,
for her life was rich because
of YOU...".

Ask for ....

What, yes what is it with me.
One day I'm full of life
of joy almost to convince
others that I am the most happy
person on earth.
Then, like a veil that falls
softly I'm reduced to rags.
No energy, long face,
eyes that seem clear and sharp
are only masquerading a lie.
No one believes me if I try
to reach for help. 
All stay away from me
not knowing how to approach
and find out what is wrong,
because I don't let them come
near for fear of disappointing
them.
I'm only disappointing myself
for not asking help....

A while...

Hellooooooooooo.
It's been a while that I closed my mind.
A weekend of souvenirs,
a light dimmed by time
always a reminder that my mom
is not around with me.
I understand
I know
I feel
her presence besides me
I should be joyful that my brain
and heart is full of good times.
No need to see you, your granddaughter
stole your eyes.  Your voice is still
on the answering machine, but one
day I will let it rest.  Mom you
loved this flower and this garden toy
looking at them makes me happy
I can see, touch and remember your
gorgeous stories about them.
Sunday is your day, so please                 
pardon me if I come tomorrow,
deposit these two and I'll just walk
away, knowing that you are still with
us...
Enjoy your new life mom.

Life

If only one
would enjoy life.

Our world would be a better place
to live in....
I might be a dreamer or a no brainer but
what is the use to go against our destinies,
wake up, life is short,
once it passed there's
no going back.

Our world

What is our world coming to.
We cry and laugh
we work and rest
but do we stop to reflect
on this condition that
afflicts our modern society.
Wish I could talk more about
this subject, but today if you
write your beliefs it will come
back & bite you.
One has to agree with modern
societies or hibernate like bears
who have found a peaceful medium
and adhere to it, but not the humans,
one poet used to say:
"The person who gets up first is the
one to make the rules of the days...".

Another test

Hope this is the last test &
I will be back to normal again.
Thanks for understanding.

Hope it's OK

Hi friends, I just made some changes to this blog,
and hope all is going well.
Should you have problems please
leave me a note, so that I can fix it.

Thank you & have a great day.

It's spring

Hello everyone yesterday April 16, 2018 was
a weird spring day.

For once our meteorologist kept their words,
ice, ice pellets, cold, wind, slush, rain,
freezing rain all in the space of 24 hours...
and that's our spring of 2018.

A long time...

It's been a long time that I did not
post anything new.  First of all I'm
a person who enjoys exploring and
trying new ideas, sites, processes,
I love to experiment with photos
and as such I'm always on the lookout
for new textures, new colors, new
actions.  So hope you got where I'm
arriving... I downloaded a program
believing it was from a safe site and
did I get the surprise of my life...
My computer was almost smoking
by itself.  It would open, close,
go dark, go slow, go so fast that one
could only stare at it and before one
realizes what's the problem it just
dies on you.
Now what?
how could it happen?
How come my anti virus did not pick it up?
How come it was listed as a safe sites
and then kaboommmm it killed my computer.
Tried for a few hours to see what I could do,
to no avail, it was completely and surely dead.
I'm no expert, so still panicking called the
Computer Man for a solution...
Oh dear, please bring it in, we will look at it
and then I will tell you the cost to put it back
together.  So ok, how much could it be?
My list of problem was half a mile long.
1) it needed to be reformatted.
2) I needed a list of programs that I had on my "box"
3) did I want the latest version of this or that program
4) did I want the latest version of the operating system.
5) did I save all my materials on the hard disk or another place.
also...
it looked like my video card was shot,
my cd player was shot,
my sound system shot,
my mother board could be shot

I started to turn white at all this mambo jumbo,
I said "is there anything worth saving on this darn box".
my computer man said: "Lady buy a new one and bring it
to me so that I can make it to your specifications..."
So until I find a computer that pleases me, I have to
contend myself with my old and reliable 10 year old portable.
Hopefully that will teach me to not be to adventurous and
don't believe when they say "Download from this safe site"...

So hopefully I'll get all my material back and be more active.
