Out and About My World

Welcome to my world please join me as I post this to City Daily Photo. With all the horrific happenings in Ukraine and our thoughts are focused there, I want to bring notice to those things we often take for granted. I hope you too enjoy moments of gratitude in your life.

Be the finder of hidden joys.

Not everything means the same to everyone. Be the keeper of your thoughts.

Sometimes two heads are better than one.

The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.

Out and About My World

"A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed."

Earl Nightingale

So many sights to see in Minneapolis.

Yes Bob, "The times they are a changin'" 

On a frigid Saturday a couple weeks ago, I spent the day at our incredible Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Aka The Arb refreshing my soul.

You'll often catch me taking photos from the inside looking out. I'm especially fond of showing the winter views in the background. Outside, in what often is quoted as "Minnesota tundra."

and below is a Lady Slipper extremely rare and hard to find and yet our state flower. 

Below. Art that allows you to ponder and reflect upon and yet you never know it's true meaning.

I am so very thankful for those that create not just with their hands but their heart and soul.

In every work of art the artist himself is present.

Below please meet my tag-along, Finn. He's here until the end of March and off presto he's off to the hills for another year.

 

Sharing a cup of coffee and sweet snack with Finn, how lucky can I be?

Totally!

I guess you could call me a soup-junkie

 and every city near and far has my go to soup.

"Thought is what we start from: the simple, intimate, immediate datum. Matter is the inferred thing, the mystery." C.S. Lewis

Even when things feel like you're going downhill, look up and reverse it.

There is an uphill for every downhill, and a downhill for every uphill.

Listen a hundred times, ponder a thousand times, speak once.

Right outside my window.

"Everything that's really worthwhile in life came to us free; our mind, our soul, our body, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends. All these priceless possessions are free, but the things that cost us money are actually very cheap and can be replaced at any time."

Earl Nightingale 

Wherever you find yourself be happy with you.

Your visits brighten my day.

Take good care of you.
