just spent a delightful hour with Dr. Jane Goodall…

well, she was on stage at the Royal Botanical Gardens Canada, and I was on the couch in the living room;-)…

she is a wonderful story teller and kept the audience, and me, enchanted…

from her earliest years, with a mother who supported her desire to know everything about animals, to her building of the Jane Goodall Institute, her life has been filled with spirit and a thirst to know more…

she has focused on chimpanzees, people and the environment…

so happy that I came upon this talk as I was scrolling through IG today…

people, there is hope, but we need to work at it, together;-)…

hopefulness…

always amazes me how some of the best photos happen…

I’ve been trying to get a great shot of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights for ages… when I am near it, I am either driving, in a car and going too quickly, or else something just isn’t right when I am walking in the area…

I have taken many photos of the building but nothing particularly good…

last night I was the passenger in a car as we went past and took a number of shots… cars and people kept interrupting a good shot, but when I checked my photos I found this great one…

I think the threatening sky had something to do with it…

the lighting in the Museum helped too…

earlier I had taken a very quick shot of an orchid that I walked past…

it came out nicely as well…

I often see a dove in close ups of orchids and they always remind me of hopefulness and my beloved…

kind of fun to have good shots of CMHR and an orchid taken so close together… both of which are such signs of hope…

a memorable photo day;-)…

hope…

big girl pants, garden, hope, pond, reading, summer, top up, water, widow

been spending a bit of time each morning reading before heading off to work…

this morning, instead of reading I was in the garden, topping up the pond… clearly it has been hot and the water has been evaporating…

it was lovely to spend the early morning outdoors listening to birdsong and running water…

of course, the hope is that I won’t have to do this too often, lol…
