been a busy day…

it started with views of the beautiful sky out the window… a bit later met the kids for family photos… what fun we had…

started out pretty chilly but by the end it was beautiful… sun was shining and it was lovely and warm…

got a few selfies with the kids…

as we were leaving, spotted the skeleton arriving, lol…

then it was on to dim sum… while we were eating my daughter mentioned that it was nearly four years to the day when we took pictures with Jamie Noordman Photography at a dog park… laughed about some of the antics from that day and how much better our shoot went today…

son-in-law and I went to Costco for a few things and then I headed home…

the sky at the end of the day was easily as spectacular as the morning…

heavens…

of course, on a day off I woke up at 5:30, so I headed out for a hot tub…

the heavens were amazing and the moon was huge… the stars were very bright and I was able to get a picture of Orion’s Belt…

considering it was on my phone it came out pretty good, lol…

the streetlight shining on the lawn furniture was also lovely…

as I was driving toward my appointment this morning the moon looked like it was close enough to touch…

happy I stopped and took a few photos, because by the time I got out of the car, it was gone…

had a nap this afternoon;-)…

timely…

took a few minutes to enjoy this sunset last night…

feels as though life has been going by so quickly that I haven’t taken the time to enjoy those special moments as they happen…

have had a very intense few days so it felt timely tonight as I spent a few minutes checking out this cool sky…

pressure…

had some fun with my photos this morning…

needed to get my blood work done for my next doctor’s appointment and took a few pictures of the sunrise as I parked the car…

I always park a good distance from wherever I am going and then get some extra walking in so there is less pressure to get enough exercise…

spotted this lovely tree changing colour as I walked along…

the walk to and from the clinic was very nice on this beautiful day…

the final reminder of my day was this bruise from the blood work…

the technicians suggest that the longer you keep pressure on the spot where the needle was inserted, the smaller the bruise will be…

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;-)…

first thing this morning the sky was amazing…

then I went out and took a quick spin around the garden… got a few shots of flowers, although they are getting a bit irritated with the cold temperatures early in the morning…

and tonight, the same view out the back window…

pretty…

cool…

this morning the sky was overcast and dull…

and it was rather cool…

got a few pictures of the Virginia creeper growing up the fireplace chimney at the front of the house…

the colours sure are cool…

very happy that it is Friday… seems like it has been a long week…

I am getting the start of a cold, which is not cool, sigh, so I treated myself to a lovely Thali dinner via SkipTheDishes…

enjoyed the Virginia creeper this morning…

it is changing everyday and starting to look quite lovely, but unfortunately this also means that fall is coming…

the pergola that George built looks spectacular right now…

of course there were flowers blooming…

lots of purple today…

the sun was trying to make it through the smoky sky as we were driving downtown…

strange, but beautiful…

odd…

one of my favourites from the garden this morning… I do love purple, and morning glories…

as I was leaving the office took a few shots of the sky… it had been looking very odd for a good portion of the afternoon… possibly from the smoke from fires…

as I was walking towards the house took the picture of the sun…

it was international chocolate day I decided on chips and chocolate for a snack after work;-)…

up early and prepared homemade macaroni and cheese… one of my daughter’s favourites…

packed up all my stuff, including a new Lug bag that my daughter got for me a few months ago…

then we headed to the Mall for a little bit of shopping… in the end she found a jacket and shorts and I got a new phone case…

we spent a fun hour at a cool kitchen store checking out all types of gadgets…

home to pick up the luggage, load the paddleboard on the roof and make our way to the airport…

had a snack and I headed through security to catch my flight…

from goodbye to Ottawa, the WestJet Connect app showing we were over Winnipeg, to coming in over the river and touchdown…

I had a great visit and enjoyed every minute…

as I was walking down the ramp to the airplane I was thinking of how blessed I have been… travelling by air has become old hat and having the resources, both financial and time, that allow me to visit my kids…
