Naked Again, Exposed, I Am With You And Buddha

September 16th, 2009

Indeed I have been lax in posting here and it is not from lack of information or photos etc.  The timing just has not seemed right when the thoughts come to me.  I will start with a quote and follow it up with a few other things, thoughts, poetry etc.
Some interesting material in the [...]

Palm Trees Growing In The Great White North

August 24th, 2009

Just about 80 Kilometers, 50 miles from Victoria BC is the town of Chemainus, population approximately 5000.  Chemainus is a seaside town founded in 1858 as a logging community.  This small town is famous for 39 outdoor murals painted on their buildings.
During a visit by my son to Victoria, we decided to take a trip [...]

When The Blackberry Attacks A Human, What Remains?

August 11th, 2009

Well this was a somewhat painful experience that turned into pleasure, later on. Don’t worry if you do not like the black and red stuff I have a poem about some knickers later on to share with you.
Those blackberry thorns attacked me quite good I reckon.  Nasty and very thorny and eager to attach [...]

Move Over Bare Naked Ladies, Well For 25 Dollars, That Is, If I Had 25 Dollars

July 12th, 2009

Some years ago the idea of bare naked ladies would conjure up a different image for me.  That image, of course, changed when I heard The Bare Naked Ladies perform or saw them in a video.  Seeing them perform is one thing but the other side of that image, not so much!
Still it was [...]

Create The Life You Want, Now!

July 6th, 2009

Some time ago, I posted 10 Minutes To Creating Whatever You Want In Life. That is a simple step by step way to do it and I had success with doing this daily.  It really works.
Some will say that it is too simple. Well simplicity is the key as is repetition, over and over again [...]

Happy Canada Day July 1, 2009

July 1st, 2009

It is a beautiful day here in Victoria, BC Canada.  Canada is officially 142 years young today.
Lots of celebrations going on all across the nation.  Wishing all the Canucks a Happy Canada Day.
Celebration brings up the subject of music for me. Music transcends the mundane and uplifts us.   Canada has a history of [...]

I am now adding this as a permanent page in the Help Others link at the top of the blog.

There is a link at the top of this blog that I set up, originally on the Easy Ways Blog, to Help Others.  One of the ways is through a donation to Kiva.

Life Is Good My Ducklings!

June 14th, 2009

Ok, the ducks just won’t go away.  I found a few more of them hogging the bridge at Swan Lake today.  So I captured a few of them, well with the camera that is.  They were tame enough to capture.
A few unique ones as I found out.  Who knew so wild and crazy creatures [...]

Don’t You Touch My Duckies!

June 11th, 2009

I went for a walk around Cedar Hill Golf Course the other day and decided to stop along the way and relax at a water spot.  It was fairly quiet with a few people stopping to enjoy the view.  It is kind of a duck world there as it was teeming with various duck couples [...]

Water, The Great Mystery of Life

June 5th, 2009

I received an email from Scott last night in which contained a link to a video about water.  The video was called Water, The Great Mystery.  Indeed it is, I added the life part because without it life simply would not exist.
The video was compared with the movie What The Bleep Do We Know, [...]
