Spirits of old

dance in the mists

hushed voices

mingle with the fog

long dead souls

breathe again

The spirits of the garden take care of me, when I take care of them.

There is something about the beauty of an air balloon that lifts your spirit right along with the balloon. Watching this take off against the mountain backdrop just fills my heart with hope.

 

Sorry I know I've been a poor contact lately but I'm getting my health back on track and will be soaring again soon!

 

Thanks for sharing the experience,

Bev

Happy Sliders Sunday.

Nothing like a herd of horses trotting around an open landscape.

Since they were behind a small wire fence I opted to use this image artistically and show the spiritual freedom they so desire.

 

(more frozen spirits in my water barrel)

j'ai écouté récemment un discours sur le racisme et le féminisme et une idée que l'oratrice a exprimé était celle de la solidarité. elle a dit que ce concept est la seule façon qu'on peut reconnaître nos differences en gardant les liens qui nous rejoignent et qui nous réunissent comme les êtres humains. personne n'a les mêmes experiences, les mêmes opportunités, les mêmes talents ou dons, mais on a tous, au fond, les mêmes besoins basiques et fondamentaux.

 

c'est aussi cette notion de solidarité avec la nature, au lieu de l'idée que c'est quelque chose à dominer, qui pourrait sauver la planète.

 

j'ai commencé un projet photographique il y a quelques semaines ou j'essaie de capter les choses inanimés ou les éléments naturaux qui sont en relation avec l'un et l'autre. si on cherche bien avec un esprit ouvert et une sensitive dans notre façon de regarder, il y an a partout. les arbres sont un exemple parfait de cette notion de solidarité et interdépendance.

i listened recently to a tall by a black feminist professor on the subject of racism. she posits that the only thing that will help us overcome racism is the notion of solidarity. she said this is a way of recognizing and honoring our differences, while keeping in mind that we all share the same fundamental needs as human beings. no one has exactly the same experiences, personal resources, opportunities, access, privileges, gifts/talents, social supports, etc, but beneath it all, our needs are the same.

 

I think this is also a notion that will help us save the planet. we need to adopt the attitude of being in solidarity with nature, as opposed to the idea that it is there for us to dominate.

 

I recently started a photo project exploring relationships between natural elements and/or inanimate objects. it celebrates solidarity and the idea of kindred spirits. trees express these concepts perfectly. they are a living testament to the interdependence of all living things.

Near White Rock Mtn in western, AR.

Although water level was unusually low, reducing the powerful persona of the waterfall, the downstream s-curve became more pronounced & created an interesting pattern. Lovely foliage colors added to the serenity of the scene.

On the edge of Kingsmere Lake, Mackenzie King spent almost 50 years (1903 – 1950) improving and expanding his estate, which he bequeathed to all Canadians. From the moment we enter this picturesque estate through wooded paths, we can enjoy the beauty of the Mooreside Main House and gardens where he hosted several important statesmen such as Winston Churchill among others. The spirits lead us to King’s historical ruins:

 

The Abbey Ruins

 

The stones from the Abbey Ruins were pieced together from remnants of other buildings, including

- the Canadian Parliament Building destroyed from fire in 1916,

- the crest of a former speaker of the House of Commons at Westminster, England,

- the stones from the printing office owned by King’s maternal grandfather, and

- the temple-like front piece (“Greek temple on a hill” he says) – came from a bay window removed from a Sandy Hill house about to be demolished. His imagination turned the bay window into the Acropolis.

 

Mackenzie King Estate, Gatineau Park, Québec, Canada

 

Au bord du lac Kingsmere, Mackenzie-King passa près de 50 ans (de 1903 à 1950) à améliorer et à agrandir son domaine qu'il légua à tous les Canadiens. Dès que nous entrons dans ce domaine pittoresque par des chemins boisés, nous pouvons apprécier la beauté de la maison principale et des jardins de Mooreside où il a hébergé plusieurs hommes d'État importants, tel que Winston Churchill. Les esprits nous mènent aux ruines historiques de King:

 

Les ruines de l'abbaye

 

Les pierres des ruines de l’abbaye ont été reconstituées à partir de vestiges d’autres bâtiments, notamment

- le Parlement canadien détruit par un incendie en 1916,

- l'emblème d'un ancien président de la Chambre des communes à Westminster, en Angleterre,

- les pierres de l’imprimerie appartenant au grand-père maternel de King et

- le morceau de façade en forme de temple « temple grec sur une colline », dit-il) - venait d'une baie vitrée retirée d'une maison de Sandy Hill sur le point d'être démolie. Son imagination transforma la baie vitrée en Acropole.
