"The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong." - Laura Ingalls Wilder
These past few days have felt like summer with warm temperatures, sunny skies and trees turning that wonderful lime green with new leaves. So I have been distracted from Flickr by doing the things I love to do in the summer. My garden is looking so great. I worked on an art project for my garden as well as tidied up the weeds. I have enjoyed watching all the beautiful birds visit my backyard and a few of them build nests. We have meals on our back deck which feels like camping. We hike long urban hikes which includes our local park. Then last night we camped out all night in our backyard.
The Trilliums are out and I said I wouldn't take any more Trillium pictures because I have so many good ones in my files. However, there was the odd one posed so nicely that it caught my attention. This one had such a gentle Purple/red color compared to the others in its group that I honored it with a portrait. It also made me stop to realize that I normally would take this pictures on the Bruce Trail. With that trail being closed right now I was glad to see the blooms in our own park nearby.
I also realized that it was the simple pleasures of outdoor experiences I love so much and it didn't really matter where these things happened. It can be in our own backyard. The things we see every year can be beautiful each time you see them again if you use fresh eyes.

A lovely, and nearly perfect, Chrysanthemum left over from a Valentine's bouquet! Such a joy to see....flower power!
Shadows and silhouettes. Looking through the window of a derelict warehouse in West Yorkshire on a sunny day.
The light showing through the space where the roof once was has created an abstract feel to the dilapidated structure behind the window.

Somewhere along the way
I got caught up in the race
I kept spinning and turning
Lost myself my hope my faith
We're always wanting more than what we have
And what I've learned is all I really need are...
The simple things
That come without a price
The simple things
Like happiness joy and love in my life
I've seen it all from so many sides
And I hope you would agree
The best things in life
Are the simple things
Hey everybody don't get me wrong you got to understand ambition and knowledge
Are the seeds of every woman and man
It's good to work... work hard and prosper
As long as you take time to find...
The simple things
That come without a price
The simple things
Like happiness joy and love in my life
I've seen it all from so many sides
And I hope you would agree
That the best things in life
Are the simple things
Solo
This world moves so fast
Sometimes you got to slow down, down, down
To find out what its all about
We're always wanting more than what we have
What I've learned, is what I really need are
The simple things
That come without a price
The simple things
Like happiness joy and love in my life
I've seen it all from so many sides
And I hope you would agree
The best things in life
Are the simple things

The Scalpel, one of the latest additions to the City of London skyline and its neighbouring building.
I was born in Poland in the early 80's. The times of the worst political system in the world, the times when the only thing you could buy at store was vinegar, when you had to stand in lines for several days and nights to buy a piece of furniture and if you wanted to buy a toilet paper you had to bring a string with you. But I don't remember all that. All I remember that those were the happiest days of my life because I was with my brother and parents. It sometimes is not so obvious with the world filled with toys, noise, media that what my kids need the most is me. And spending time with them is the best thing I can do for them.

I found a couple rolls of film that I never developed from over 8 years ago. I was so happy to discover many beautiful moments. The age of the film before developing has given the pictures an even more nostalgic look.
This tree was in Biei or Furano. The first time I ever went to that area of Hokkaido, I was enchanted by it's simple and natural beauty. I still am even now, 8 years later.
A simple jetty. Stand here on a calm morning or still evening and wonder, "Is there a more calming place in all the world?"
