Volunteer work is always important. I’m working on a project for the Church Directory, taking the photos for the Directory no charge and just a small charge if individuals want to order hard copies or the jpgs for their personal use. Wednesday I’ll be taking photos for the Local Horticultural Society and be lucky enough to get a preview of the Garden Walk.

Todays’ Pic was taken while walking at Port Glasgow. Two cats on a porch. One blissfully sleeping. The other on guard ready to spring. Both free to come and go as they please.
Friday before the Canada Day Long Weekend. I’m hoping to finally get out kayaking. Fond farewells to tradition at Kin Camp and Birthday Parties. Fireworks. Food. Family. Friends.

On our daily walk, Rickie and I spotted a raccoon on the rocks. The raccoon was running towards us, so I was a little nervous, but she ducked into a crevasse in the rocks before reaching us. Obviously she knew exactly what she was doing and where she was going.

The wide deep puddle may have stopped me with my sneakers, but Rickie ran through as soon as the deer left and wanted to pursue the game.
The by-election results are in. Poor turnout for the by-election and the Conservatives have retained their hold on our area with a 50% count.

This planet is not terra firma.
It is a delicate flower
and it must be cared for.~ Scott Carpenter

Sometimes we are forced to take a different path or re-route our energies. Yesterday walking the trails in my local conservation area, was one of those days. The morning rain left my chosen trail blocked by a huge puddle. So Rickie and I thought we would take another trail to reach the steps up to see the trilliums. Well, our timing was perfect to see the White Tail Fawn standing at the base of one of the boardwalks. Reflected in the puddle (also too big for me to get across with my running shoes) and watched by it’s mother the fawn stopped to look directly in the camera before it went to run the forest with it’s mother.
Then Rickie walked fearlessly through the puddle and waited on the boardwalk for me.
DAILY TAROT: 0 THE FOOL
There is nothing to fear.
The first card of the Tarot Deck. Or is it the last? New beginnings, limitless potential, fearless guide.
