Far away and deep within the trees, so I was happily surprised to get an OK shot of a hawk species I had not seen before. I have been on several bird walks over the years when someone would say "Broad-winged Hawk!", but all we could see was a distant speck flying high in the sky. The Broad-winged Hawk is classified as Sensitive in the General Status of Alberta Wild Species report.
This was the very first time I had been to Confederation Park, as it was out of my driving comfort zone. So glad I made myself do the drive, though, as I would have missed this beautiful hawk. There were various Warbler species, but they were too fast for me to see. This is a lovely park, though we only walked in one small area.

The "Intimate Zone" below the characteristic white front handrail of a black MRCE Taurus ! Notice also, the "Deformation Elements" next to the bumpers, to avoid destructions of the frame in case of a crash with low speed ... ; )

This Smart car was on a tow truck and the local Mercedes dealership. The front end was fully caved, but the cabin appeared completely intact. I always wondered how one of these would survive a front-end crash, being as short as they are. Evidently, fairly well - at least for the passengers!

I feel like I’ve been in a construction zone for months. I made it a goal to get the house ready for winter, with some significant work required. Old roof torn off, new roof installed. Check. Old gutters replaced. Check. Exterior of entire house re-painted. Check. Big leaky windows in front room replaced . . . hello? Hello? No – they’ve been ordered for months. Supply chain issues. It’s starting to get cold at night and there’s a draft. Time to get on the phone again tomorrow and do my project management thing. Again. It's been a long summer.

This picture is what it feels like to be in my comfort zone....my bubble. There is a soothing silence and i can feel myself regain my strength, lost from doing too much, feeling too much...and too deeply. My comfort zone is where i can (and often do) nurture myself and my spirit. I am alone. I am NOT lonely.
I am retreating to my comfort zone tonight with my book, and try to regain some energy from the 8;5 hour drive home from NC yesterday. I did most of the driving, until the relentless pounding of the rain and the vision impairing fog took it’s toll on my head, and i asked to be relieved of the driver duties. The ride should have taken 7,5 hours and given the crummy driving conditions and a brief stop for a late lunch, and to feed the cat ( we had to have him with us on this trip due to his meds and SubQ treatments, and his every few hour feedings). we made decent time. After cleaning out the car of all the luggage and such, and tidying up, i went to bed, to be awakened at 2:30am by the cat for another feeding....
so off i go now...feeding him again and heading for my comfort zone....i hope!
My latest post for Metabox is here and is about how shifting your point of view in life can make wonders.
There is always a good side to almost anything. We often let worries and anxiety be in control of what is happening, but once you succeed in changing your observation point, once you can detach yourself from the events, the unexpected can enter in the field and turn everything into something else.
This mountain ridge was part of the direct blast zone from when Mt St Helens erupted. All the trees within miles were knocked flat, laying down like match sticks, with some of these trees protected by the ridge still partially standing.
