Welcome to
SATURDAY'S CRITTERS
and City Daily Photo
although I may have missed the window to post for this last Saturday on Saturday's Critters that Eileen hosts, as it was a packed weekend off. Saturday was a superb celebration in my hometown of Lakeville for the fifth annual Intenational Day of Living Together in Peace at Casperson Park on Lake Marion and Sunday was an out-of-town trip and special visit through one of my favorite cities Stillwater, Minnesota.
I was gathering critter photos but many of the pups I only petted.
These pups have it right, they're taking in the sights and when they passed by me, they wanted to be petted, so dog daddy put away his phone!

Smith + Trade Mercantile
is of course one of my favorite shops that sell so many works from various artists, and they offer classes you'll want to sign-up for.

"Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a Kindness."
Seneca
The day upholds the desire to live and act together, united in differences and diversity, in order to build a sustainable world of peace, solidarity and harmony. Living together in peace is all about accepting differences and having the ability to listen to, recognize, respect and appreciate others, as well as living in a peaceful and united way.
I know you're thinking nice job kiddos on the artwork,
but a Lakeville Police Officer added to this too!
Meet Millie and what a sweetheart she is.
Saturday was a cold and windy day and I'm betting they felt that cold deeply with their bare feet.
There were lots of song, dance and food from all the cultures living within our community. It was a great day to learn many things.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
Now a foot bridge that will take you to Wisconsin!
"Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness; touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace."

Thank you for your visits and your kind words.
Light your today with kindness everywhere you go. Smile.

Woo-hoo I made it and there are still 25.5 hours left for Saturday's Critter post of May 17th! Oh, Happy Day! Thank you, Eileen.
Hello Karen,
I am always happy to see your critters and inspiring words and post. The celebration day of Living together in Peace is nice, we should celebrate this every day. Cute pups, I love to pet all the dogs I meet too. The fox carving is cool. Great capture of the turtles! Thanks so much for linking up and sharing your post.
Take care ,enjoy your day and the week ahead.
It is always uplifting to visit you here, Karen.
It's a rainy day here and probably more rain and wind to come this week. It would be nice if we all lived in peace and hopefully if enough of us push for it, we'll have it!
Thank you so much for yet another post packed with critters, wisdom, beauty and wonder.
You are doing something very important there and you bring it here and share it with us. I want you to know that it's important to me to see what you're doing and to see the goodness that's out there. Much appreciated. Aloha
Love the dancing girls!
An "international day of living together in peace" sounds like a much needed day, that needs to be held daily!
Thanks for the very interesting posts. Why can't mankind just get along and enjoy what has been given to him? If you cross that bridge into Wisconsin, and go down the path to the right....there is some nice sandy beach. Enjoy the holiday.
Thank you Pat!
Thank you, critters are my joy, they keep giving to us no matter what comes our way.
Thank you. You are absolutely spot on and if only we could spread it like wildfires and force all darkness out! Aloha to you sweet Cloudia.
Me too! Enjoy your week ahead!
It would be so wonderful for all! One moment at a time we can all push out the darkness! We can do this.
Thanks, I shall do that I'm always into wandering and possibly there will be Trumpeter Swans or ducks as well.
Very possible....but more likely just north of downtown Hudson...enjoy your day.
Its always good to see your posts.
1955 was a very good year. Enjoy all your days.
