I am beginning to wonder if we have to change the way we educate our children, they seem to have missed so much learning throughout the last 2 years? I have 9 grandchildren and they most certainly have suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic. I wonder, if we should come up with new ideas, we have many brilliant minds in our society, I think that they most definitely should be coming up with new ways as to how best educate our children and make life better for families. I wish that I had a brilliant mind because I most definitely would be working on this problem amongst others. So those of you who can, please put your minds to this gigantic problem. Education is a must, we learn to interact, debate (not quarrel), respect one another, find ways to work together successfully in teams, listen, and can spend our whole lives learning which is fulfilling! Thank you for putting up with my thoughts.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

First trip to the Sage in two years.

Kenchouji (建長寺) is a Zen Buddhist temple of the Rinzai (臨済宗) sect. It was originally founded in 1253 with the patronage of Houjou Tokiyori (北条時頼 1227 - 1263), the 5th Regent for the Kamakura shogunate.

Soumon gate (総門) in the photo was originally built in 1783 for Hanjuuzanmai'in (般舟三昧院) in Kyoto and moved here in 1940.

Most of the Buddhist temples in Japan have a Sangou (山号) which literally means the "name of mountain." It is a kind of pseudonym. The tradition derives from China where many temples were located on the mountainside. Sangou of Kenchouji is Kofukusan (巨福山) as written in the plaque meaning "big luck mountain." The letter "巨" is written wrongly with an unknown intention.

The building beyond the opening of Soumon is Sanmon gate (山門) completed in 1775, which literally means the entrance to mountain.

The concrete building in the left is Kamakura Gakuen High School (鎌倉学園) which is run by the Buddhist temple. It is not for educating Zen monks but for general education.

World Fibromyalgia Awareness Day May 12th and Fibromyalgia Awareness Month May 1st-30th – May is the month we all come together to educate and raise awareness about Fibromyalgia with friends and family, at work, and in our neighbourhoods.

Prayer Feathers Birds are regarded as a messenger to carry our prayers to the Great Spirit. A Prayer Feather is commonly used while smudging.

Here is a listing of the feathers used and the meanings associated with them:

Pheasant - confidence, attraction, perserverance

Ostrich - grounding

Red-tail Hawk - nobility, cleansing, observer

Parrot - sunshine, healing

Great Horned Owl (when available) - the mystery of magic, silent wisdom, omens, detachment, change

Eagle - healing, understanding, renewal, courage, intelligence

Turkey - learning limits, channel energy, balance

Duck/Goose - emotional support

What are the chances?

I would like to express a sincere gratitude to all parents who educate their children and drag them through galleries, exhibitions and other perfectly lit buildings.

They may not appreciate it but the sneaky photographers do. And please let them run!! Specially in and out the doors!!

Thank you!!

The Evan Davies Building at 13 South Terrace was constructed in 1899 in the Federation Academic Classical style of architecture, purpose built for the Literary Institute.

In 1948 the Evan Davies Building was bought by the City of Fremantle and used as the Municipal Library. A new library was opened in the 1970s in the Civic Administration Building, adjacent to the Fremantle Town Hall.

From 2005 the building contains coffee shops on the ground floor and Kulcha Performance venue is located on the first floor.

One of two more photos taken of the Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat on my walk with Shauna on Sunday. Notice the new shoots coming up:)

"The Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat (HBBH) is an ecological restoration project that provides critical habitat for a variety of native butterfly species. Located along the shores of Lake Ontario in Toronto’s west end, HBBH incorporates a diversity of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees, grasses, sedges and a variety of physical features known to support butterflies throughout all life cycles. The goal of HBBH is to establish a self-sustaining native plant community which will support a variety of butterfly species, while engaging and educating park users about the value of urban wildlife habitat."

Thanks for visiting it is a cold and slippery day in Toronto.

than to re-educate the mis-educated :-)

Educate yourself!

Cops let me do my things

Where there is awareness there is hope .

When I was 17 years old my whole world was shattered because my

dear Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The Doctor told her

she had come just in time and that if she had waited just 6 more months

it could have been too late to help her. My Mother endured chemotherapy,

and radiotherapy. She lost her hair, self-confidence and her left breast.

It is because of this very traumatic chapter in my life that I am today a nurse

at Stavanger University Hospital, Norway.

Cancer is a heavy and huge diagnosis for a patient and their family to accept.

There are a couple of big problems, in my opinion, that largely affect many people adversely. The first, as I see it, is the small number of Prevention Campaigns there are. More of these campaigns could educate and push people to use the methods and take the time to self-check themselves routinely. In many cases patients with various types of cancer the time and experience of the treatments can be fairly easy and effective if they are diagnosed in time. Another problem area I see is that

people wait too long to seek medical attention and then they must face the trauma when it's too late. I would also like to point out that it is a misconception that men do not develop breast cancer when in fact, men are equally confronted with it. It is unclear why this subject remains somewhat "taboo" still to today.

I am representing 2 organizations with this challenge. They are Breast Cancer Prevention (www.cancer.org) and Cherries On Top (shop.cherriesontop.org/). Cherries On Top is a globally targeted fund raising organization for research support and information campaigns in all types of cancer that affects Kids, Men and Women. I would like to plan an event to benefit both of these great causes. My plan on how to make this happen would involve friends of mine that are Second Life Voice Entertainers,

DJs, Designers, Agency Owners, Bloggers, and Models. Anyone and everyone I can ask to help I would try to secure for to make charity concerts, shows and other ideas that may come to mind. If these things can save someone's life it's worth whatever it takes to make it happen.

I am a strong believer one should educate kids how to handle animals. A friend pointed out that n some annual festival in Mississippi people let kids chase rabbits and other animals until they catch them, and let them hold the rabbits by the ears. Please sign the petition if you're browsing the web anyway. Apart from educating the kids around you how one should handle animals, it is the least you can do.

This rabbit is my friend's. He's an angora rabbit (you know, the ones that are plucked alive and then scream because it is so incredibly painful to be plucked alive, because we want angora sweaters). Jochem in the picture is cut regularly - his wool is 7 times warmer than sheep's wool. If it grows too long, he will get too hot. I could tell you stories about people breeding these and going to shows with them where their wool has to be long, and the rabbits die of over heating because attending a show with such amounts of wool on them is no fun in summer. But I won't. Because I choose my friends wisely. Because Jochem is cut regularly so he won't get too warm.

Posting a few more images from my archives until I can get out again. I am adding the description that I wrote under a previously posted photo taken on the same trip.

"This particular bird resides at the Alberta Bird of Prey Centre in Coaldale, southern Alberta, a wonderful place that rehabilitates and releases (whenever possible) various birds of prey - hawks, owls, Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures, and Golden Eagles. Some of these birds act as Wildlife Ambassadors, too, educating the public.

It had been a few years since my last visit to the Alberta Bird of Prey Centre - I've only been maybe three or four times - and I had been longing to go back. Much too far and all new driving territory for me to even think about driving there myself. However, six days ago, on 9 September 2016, that is exactly what I did. A friend had said she would come along, too, but she emailed me at 1:00 am that morning to say that she assumed our trip had been cancelled, as she hadn't heard back about the time to meet. In fact, I had sent two emails giving the time, so I don't know what happened there. Very unfortunate, as it would have been great to have had company on such a long drive, and I know she would have had great fun with her camera.

I knew it would be a long day and further than I would normally drive - and in a brand new car that I have yet to learn to drive! It doesn't look or feel quite as new now, after travelling 481 km, plus a long trip the next day! Only got lost twice, one minor and the other major. Must have taken a wrong turn somewhere way down south and I ended up in the city of Lethbridge, that I had very carefully planned to avoid. After driving for three and three-quarter hours, I finally arrived, to my huge relief.

Despite getting there later than I had hoped, I still had more than enough time to wander round the grounds and photograph the various raptors. Some were tethered out in a grassy area and others were in outdoor cages. Wonderful to get such a close look at the various majestic birds.

I took a slightly different way home via #845 (?), making absolutely sure that I didn't accidentally find myself in Lethbridge again and it wasn't too long before I found myself in the area that I had driven a few weeks ago, when I went SW of Vulcan to look for Common Nighthawks (without any luck).

Just so happy that I finally made myself do this drive. When I Googled the Centre's website, I had discovered that they were closing two days later for the winter. So, it was either a case of going the next day or not at all till next May onwards.

The day after this adventure, 10 September 2016, I took my daughter on a long drive in Kananaskis. This was yet another place that I had longed to be able to drive for many years - and finally I did it! I had been lots of times with various friends, but this was the very first time I had ever driven myself. We had planned to do this a few weeks earlier, but then my car had major repairs that needed to be done. Instead, I knew I just couldn't put any more money into my 17-year-old car, and I ended up replacing it. So glad we went to the mountains on this particular day, as it snowed the following day."

Poppies on the Bathgate Pyramids by the side of the M8 motorway, Scotland.

To those idiot students who hide their heads in hoods and faces behind masks and burn Police cars and damage property in protest about a rise in student fees, please realise that things in this world have a cost. As immature beings you may have got used to anyone and everyone else, whether it be your parents or the State paying for your existence. You may think it right that you waste your time and the expense of educating you at University, gaining a degree that you don't use. You may think it your right to protest and complain that you should be held to account for the expense of your education. After all you have the right to do anything you like: it's a free country, isn't it?

But please use your selfish little brains to appreciate that there is a cost for all these things.

The poppies you see people wearing are not a celebration of war. They are a symbol of remembrance for the hundreds of thousands of men who fought to defend the freedom of our land. They were men from a time when people respected their nation, respected it's authorities, the Laws and the Police. They didn't protest when sent to defend their country, even at a terrible cost. For they paid to give today's students the freedom they enjoy with their lives.

It's important we remember that sacrifice and point out to today's youth how fortunate they are.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy each day.
