Opportunity ~ a regular visit to the eye doctor!
Definitely not a money day in earning, or spending.
Just a lovely day and a long, lovely walk home
Cool and splotched with occasional sunshine
Petals and leaves shone with drying raindrops
Cement lions, urns, and bird houses graced gardens and trees
All along my stop/start wander, many gifts were presented to all and sundry.
Myriads of flowers ~ handsome iris, giant orange poppies, pale yellow roses and many nameless colourful flowers.
A telephone pole with ‘Deer Crossing’ in chalk to alert drivers to our deer population.
Midway in my walk from Oak Bay to Fairfield, a treasure box of books ~ a yellow ‘lending library’ with wings at the edge of a tousled yard.
In Ross Bay Cemetery, full of history and ancient trees,
a pair of young deer enjoyed good grazing on leaves and grass.
I was gifted today ~
by nature,
by gardeners,
by a mother’s idea and
a child’s hand.
“Pleasure is spread through the earth
In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find.”
~ William Wordsworth, 1806
