Porte Ponderings:

Hidden safely among the branches to sleep the day away this Black crowned night heron is perfectly framed by the live oak branches. Tell tale signs of poop are on the walkway below, but only those who know his sleeping spot can find him.

I am in charge of how I feel today.

The need for healing and embracing spiritual growth.

tell the truth.

Porte Ponderings:

Happy April 1st, or better known as April Fool’s Day. This year it is also Easter Monday. A government holiday as most stores are open, but you can’t mail anything nor can you go to the bank. 😉

DAILY TAROT: KN KNIGHT OF SWORDS

I speak my truth but always
respect the truth of others.

Go in assertive and in full armour. Ride in on your high white horse, full of energy. But be careful of others and their quest.

If you don’t take a chance
– you won’t have a chance.

~ Cale Yarborough
Race car driver and farmer
Born on: 27th March 1939

Porte Ponderings:

My last walk through Zephyr Park yesterday for this season, maybe forever. It was windy, the water levels are really low and there wasn’t a lot of different bird species there. The wind caused an osprey to almost stand still as it was trying to fly over the water. It was a great opportunity for me to capture it’s image and get wonderful details for the photo I used in today’s quote.

I also ran into the couple from Woodstock. It was so good to see them again.

DAILY TAROT: III THREE OF CUPS

I celebrate life and cherish
my friends and family.

Failure doesn’t kill you…
it increases your desire

Failure usually doesn’t kill you, if you survive you can be inspired to do better.

DAILY TAROT: XVI The Tower

I have the strength to handle
anything the Universe throws at me.

Porte Photos’ Daily Quote: January 15th, 2024

We may have all come on different ships,
but we’re in the same boat now.

~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
American – Leader January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968 

Porte Ponderings:

Some of us have roots that didn’t bring a ship here, but we’re still here in the same boat now.

In Florida, Martin Luther King Jr Day is a day to spread love and speak loudly about equality regardless of the colour of your skin.

  The truth that I seek is within me.

A lantern in the dark.
Time to turn inward for answers,
Introspection.

on any happy occasion or birthday and celebrate.

Porte Ponderings:

DAILY TAROT: Ace of Wands
  I am ready to pursue my passion and
  take my potential to the next level.

Do I have a passion? 

I have hobbies and interests, but I wouldn’t call them passions. 

Painting is a new skill I’ve been working on. I call it my COVID hobby. During COVID restrictions I started to take on-line tutorials and try to do at least 1 a week. Thanks Jesse Robertson for providing these wonderful tutorials. This week being in Florida, I thought I would try the Great Blue Heron tutorial. I used one of the 8×10″ canvas frames from the local Dollar Tree. I like the ability to do just a bit a day and let it dry before adding the next layer and unpausing the tutorial.
