It was glorious and sunny this morning when I went for a walk with my friend, Lynda, and her two borrowed dogs. Good thing we were out then because now it’s clouded over, windy and cool. Oh, and it is raining. Not that one can’t walk in the rain, but I do enjoy the sunshine! Here are a few of the beauties encountered in the park and surrounding area.
I feel so lucky to live in the midst of this beauty.

Apologies. Try as I might, I can’t seem to get to my blog. It’s not that I don’t want to, but obviously, it’s not enough of a priority for me to do it. The most I can manage digitally is posting on Instagram (@timetobeinspired) and the odd share on Facebook. How sad is that?
2017 has been a year of change and so far a year of travel. In January and February, I spent 5 weeks in East Africa, visiting Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. The trip included 2 outstanding overland safaris plus a week of relaxation in Zanzibar. In April I visited Prague in the Czech Republic for 2 weeks as well as spending a week in Budapest, Hungary. All of these destinations were new to me and for the most part, I have one thing to say. WOW! Seriously. I took thousands of photos and found amazing inspiration and soon I plan on getting down to work to use some of that inspiration. My travels will be shared in posts to follow.
I am writing this from 37,000 feet on a flight from Calgary, Alberta to Halifax, Nova Scotia. My oldest son is getting married later this week and it is time for a celebration! This is a week-long trip. Immediately after my arrival back in Calgary my residency at ACAD (Alberta College of Art and Design) begins. I hope that means that I’ll be nose to the grindstone for 3 months. We shall see.
In the following months, I plan on making a concerted effort to revive my blog. Perhaps my format will include minimal text and lots of photos. Maybe I won’t be able to contain myself sometimes and there will be something to read. Only time will tell. My goal is to post every 2 weeks. In the past, I enjoyed documenting my work, my travels, some cooking adventures and various miscellany. That varied and vague approach will probably continue. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this. I hope to reacquaint with some of my online pals. I have missed you.
Here are a few photos of fun things I’ve spotted on my trip so far.

I can’t believe I’ve waited till late at night AGAIN to get this post together. I’ve had a quick look through a few photo albums and selected green that jumped out at me. It frustrates me that I don’t seem to be able to control the order of the photos, but maybe next time I’ll be able to figure it out. I can’t think of anything but plants when I think of green. It’s just too late.
These photos were taken across the country from the Muskoka area in Ontario to Victoria, B.C., and a couple of them right here at home. Click on the photos to enlarge them. Enjoy.
Here’s growth in our front garden, starting 10 years ago.
