had trouble staying focussed on my book on Wednesday as there was a lot of activity across the way…

two workers spent the entire morning stringing a new wire…

it was so cold I felt bad for them, but they seemed comfortable as I watched…

the most interesting thing was what appeared to be a torpedo shaped object which one person pulled along the line… I think it was winding the new wire around the old ones…

my beloved would have been able to tell me exactly what it was and how it worked, lol…

but, all of those goings-on really made it hard to concentrate on my book;-)…

the last few days I’ve been watching the sky on my travels to and from the office…

a few mornings the sun has been sending rays through the clouds… of course I never get to take pictures on the drive…

this particular picture is from the night we went to a soccer game close to me… the sky that night was a show of great views… in the end the game was cancelled due to lightning… I really liked the sun shining down through the clouds…

the sun against the blue sky in the evenings has been lovely as well…

I was looking through my photos to find a picture that would show the beauty…

the pinks and blues of this shot last Friday don’t really replicate the amazing colour that evening…

it is always wonderful to take the time to enjoy the beauty around us…

more and more I focus on those moments…

took a moment fairly early this morning to take a picture of the lovely pansies in the hibiscus pot… there is also a bloom coming on the hibiscus…


they just have such happy little faces… always bring a smile to my face when I see them…

then at noon I had lunch with these two amazing women… we’ve been taking our lunch out to the Park on sunny days and enjoying the outdoors…


the Park is right behind our office but I must say sometimes people look at us oddly as we walk along the sidewalk with our plates of food…

been talking lately about learning and understanding our authentic self… always an interesting topic… some days I can face up to my frailties and other days I am able to accept how great I can be… 

heard something recently that I am going to work toward… focus on your strengths and let go of your weaknesses…

every morning it is lighter… makes me so happy… took this picture as I stepped out the door…

  
sun shone for a good portion of the day… as I drove downtown the sun lit up the windows of the Hydro building…

  
but, as the afternoon progressed, the snow started falling… it was still falling when I left the office…

  
I had a great time cleaning off the car and taking pictures of snowflakes… temperature wasn’t too cold and I  enjoyed about fifteen amazing minutes focussing on getting some great shots…

  
had to clean it again at the end because it was snowing the whole time… what fun…

when I arrived home I took out my camera and spent another few minutes catching snowflakes…

between the light and the snowflake photos it was a glorious day…

last school concert of the season… this one at the little boys’ school…

  
this one looked so cute all dressed up… this is his last concert at this school as he will be moving to middle school next year…

where does the time go…

  
every time the little one saw our cameras, he posed, lol…

  
great performance with the chimes… kids were very focused to come in at the correct time… this guy likes music but is planning to focus on his art at the next school…

  
lovely shot of big brother and youngest focused on the performance…

we’ve never landed such great seats where we could actually see our kids without a zoom lens… the school had a great raffle and the winner got front row seats with assigned parking… too bad I didn’t know about that beforehand… maybe next year…

got a shot of all the gifts under the trees… looks lovely…

started the day by taking a picture of the chair outside the back door on my way to the garage…

  
it was glittering beautifully in the light… frost…

read an interesting article today, by Travis Bradbury, on genuine people… really resonated with me…

I printed it and plan to highlight a different paragraph every day to remind myself of the important message for me… being real in whatever you do… good to have something to work toward…

hard to focus on anything tonight… the wind is blowing like crazy… and there is a piece of loose siding just outside the bedroom banging against the house… hope it is still there in the morning…

think there is going to be more than frost on the ground when I get up…
