my guitar has six strings,
it gets lonely when nobody sings,
musical and magical…….Jose Murguia
I don’t have a guitar, and I don’t have a musical bone in my body. People pay not to hear me sing, I am so bad! Can’t carry a tune in a paperbag, so they say. I wish it was different by it isn’t. This picture was taken at the house concert we attended a couple of weeks ago.They were sitting so patiently between sets! The two guitars are sitting on a stand that holds three guitars, so together like this it almost looks like a reflection. I hope you have time to enjoy the music today.

yesterday was a busy day – we started at the World Trade Center. Before visiting the site of the memorial pools we went to the ticket center, where there is lots of information, videos, pictures, and stories of the day and lives that were changed forever. the site takes a while to get into – lots of security, and volunteers to answer questions.

Reflections of Italy……….
I spent the weekend working on holiday pictures, and reflecting on the trip to Venice. Most mornings we were up early, enjoyed the sunrise, and the streets before the tourists were out for breakfast.
Here the gondolas are moored at the Bacino Orseole, stored during the night or on rainy days, by mid morning there is a line up of tourists waiting for a ride through the canals.
Pedestrian Bridge, Princess Island to downtown Calgary

This is a quiet little pedestrian bridge on the east side of Princess Island Park, that it seems, very few people know about. Princess Island park is linked to Eau Claire and downtown Calgary with three bridges. There is currently one bridge connecting Princess Island to Calgary’s northwest communities and Memorial Drive, but that is soon to change.
It was a great fall morning, water was still and the clouds were perfect! You know that when your day starts like this it is going to be a good day.
Rio San Barnaba, Venice Italy

The travel guides suggest that the Rio San Barnaba is one of the prettiest canals in the area, it is home to the floating barge crammed with fruit and vegetables that was featured earlier in the blog. Quiet at night the canal reflects the lights of the shops and restaurants that line it giving it a friendly and peaceful feeling.

I have been working on some old photos, seeing what I can do to make them a little better…..I am not sure if this one works, it feels a little contrived? I like the photo well enough, not sure if it needs the words to go with it, or if this is even the right word. But I find children inspiring, they are always learning, and despite a thousand falls, they learn to walk, run, and they continue to take risks; for that inspire seem like the right word.
What do you find inspiring?
Coal Harbour, Vancouver BC

Coal Harbour Vancouver, British Columbia, one of our favorite places to visit and spend time when visiting Vancouver.
The Coal Harbour land area is situated just west of the downtown core along the waterfront from Canada Place on the east to Stanley Park on the West. It is a great place for a morning coffee, stroll, job or bike ride. You can see the cruise ships and boats of all sizes, float plans coming and going.

Upside Down and Backwards! Reflections and Life

I have this glass ball hanging in the garden on what looks like a spring, when the wind turns the spring it looks like the glass ball is moving up and down, it is an illusion! The glass ball also mirrors the world, but the image in it is upside down and backwards. It is, at least for me, quite fascinating to study the view and I was reminded again how things aren’t always as they seem, our personal perspective shapes what we see, and is shaped by how we look at things, and I should try to look at things from more that one perspective occasionally.
I hope your view is a good one!
