Why did this remind me of early Roxy Music?

Could be the sax, could be the guitar, the passion, the virtuosity, or the straight-up life-affirming vibe that comes off in this performance.

Just wanted to share, in the hopes it connects with you in a positive way.

Thursday, May 16, 2024, 9:51:13 PM- Little fella

This is a male slate-colored dark-eyed junco that flew into the garage when I was working in the garden recently, and although the door was still open he wasn't finding his way out, flitting up against a window in a bit of a panic. As I approached him, he calmed down and let me scoop him up in my hands. From then he stayed very tranquil, as Daisy took out her phone to take a few pics. We immediately released him afterwards and he flew straight to a high branch in a tree, then looked down at us before going about his way. You can click on the images and toggle them full screen or zoom in more if you wish. Beautiful creature.

Saturday, April 13, 2024, 12:37:10 AM- Today really felt like spring

25 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. Unusually hot for these parts at this time of year in fact. So Daisy and I spent most of the day working outside at home. Plenty to do when we shift from a lengthy and brutal winter to this much more clement season. Snow is now completely melted, bbq and patio chairs are out, lawnmowers ready to go and there are many more hours of preparation for grass repair and flower beds just to name a few things. We are spending more time in the natural world, not near the sea although that would be great too, but definitely near the woods. Our long-standing profile voice greeting was recorded during this period, right outside our door. Birds are sounding happy now, tree frogs just started singing this week.

An nn friend from a Nordic country sent me this pic a while back, and gave me permission to use it in the blog section. I just think it's an awesome photo, and can only imagine how much fun it was to take it. Aurora borealis, I've seen it once in my life, and it was a very humbling experience. Just silence, and the night time sky entirely alive with this mysterious, ever-changing green light, for several minutes.

"Incredible, isn't it. I worked at sea for a number of years and was lucky enough to see it both at sea and in port. It's the silence that is so remarkable to me - all that eerie light but no noise."- FlightofFancy

Fresh pancakes, hot out of the skillets and ready to eat. My own recipe! To be enjoyed with Canadian maple syrup and whatever else you fancy.

Oof, I just had four, the last one with whipped cream. Daisy scarfed down two, another family member has not yet eaten breakfast, but there will be quite a few pancakes left over.

King (that's the little nickname I like to give him, even if he is being raised in French) turned 1 recently. He is discovering the joys of cooling off with water on a hot summer day. We also brought him for his very first swim in the lake last week. He's a better swimmer than his grandpa!

I was cleaning a rug outside recently, and when I installed it to dry this beautiful butterfly came and just stayed on it for a while. But it would not open its wings even though I must have waited a good ten minutes, camera in hand. I managed the first pic, then had some errands to do. When I came back well over an hour later, the sky was cloudier. The same butterfly was still fluttering about, and placed itself on the rug again, in the same position. However this time after a while, it rewarded my patience and desire to capture it in image, wings spread. I was expecting similar colours as seen on the underside of this insect's wings, but was absolutely thrilled.

"That is so beautiful."- Dignitea

Saturday, June 10, 2023, 5:15:49 PM- Daisy it out shopping, so I'm left to my own devices for a few hours.

Here are some pics from today, of white peonies. They are in absolute full bloom right now , and their scent is divine. Not ashamed to say that I truly love flowers, plants, and trees, and Daisy has me in charge of everything botanical around the home. Don't know if anyone enjoys seeing this on a human sexuality site, but if it helps to make just one person's day a little bit better, then it will have been worth the time.
