the sky was filled with clouds at the start and at the end of the day…
although they were the same, they were also completely different…
last night there was a sun dog in the sky as we headed to a volleyball game…
it was quite spectacular and very odd as usually we see sun dogs in cold weather…
so much to see when you look up;-)…

been thinking a lot of the beauty around us…
four years ago I was just home from a big surgery and trying to lean through the pain…
I remember looking at my beautiful flowers, in the house and outside in the garden and how they made me feel better… beauty does heal…
the sky this morning was filled with many colours and cloud shapes…
over the last few weeks I’ve taken a few pictures of some other amazing shapes…
the spiral architecture of this datura as it opens is so amazing and beautiful… I look at every one of the blooms as they open, in awe of the breathtaking structure…
this mandevilla is blooming like crazy… so many flowers as it spreads out of its container… think we’ve had one on the deck every year for at least a decade… sadly they only last a few years going in and out of the house… it also has a wonderful architecture as the bloom slowly prepares to open…
past its prime, this dahlia is still amazingly beautiful…
spent a while sitting on a bench beside this lovely flower bed on Portage Avenue recently… love the shades of green and pops of colour…
always remind myself to take the time to see the beauty around me…

first thing I saw when I stepped outside this morning…
as I drove to work the sun came in and out of view in the overcast sky… was very happy to be able to stop at the end of the street and get a shot of it… kind of hard to tell that actually is the sun, lol…
after work I drove home with my visor down to protect my eyes from the bright sun…
saw some beautiful cloud formations…
again, very lucky to have a red light so that I could take the picture…
tonight I read about how a young friend had a conversation about what clouds look like with their child on their way home today… they were probably looking up at the same time as I was…
still cold and windy, but the snow has gone…
amazing what you can see over the course of the day if you take the time to look…
