A fun day for sure lots of the lovely number 11 to ponder over. Can't get enough. There is a beautiful flock of little birds dancing all around my house swaying to the beat. Reminding me of how connected we all are to nature and each other :)'Coincidence' is the story of my life and what a day to celebrate it.

Cute Frog The Forest Is Filled With Them !
There were just tons of these guys down at the forest today. I think it's an American Toad not sure cute little fella and easy to catch. I let them all go again :) Also found an abundance of leopard frogs down there which is nice. Won't be long though it'll be all gone. The Kitchener construction trucks just keep getting deeper and deeper into it. There is so much life in this little patch of forest in the middle of the city even deer and blue herring are still squishing themselves in there. What a shame to see it all go. Yes wave goodbye little frog.
( I released this frog right after taking this picture , I never take animals out of the wild. )
I think this is an endangered species. Too bad they couldn't have taken a better look at the present nature before they put all those big expensive houses in there. Ah well, all the broken glass, needles and foaming toxic sludge in the creek killing all the crayfish was not a good place for animals anyway. There was a ferret or weasel-like critter as well and a muskrat den. Twice now my son has spotted and taken pics of a fox.And there is a population of red-tailed hawks as well. Down Blazer road. I know not too far off by the Grand river there is or was an endangered newt with an orange belly a long time ago he was rescued and put on the list.

WHOOOOT !!! I just quit smoking :)))))
I can't believe how good it feels to clean some serious pollution out of my life . I've been spending so much time watching natural disasters one after the other smoking my brains out in stress and tears paralyzed sometimes by the horrors on the news and realized a microcosm of this reflection . There's been an oil spill in my lungs every cigarette I smoke like a radioactive leak seeping into the future of my life . The only real power I have in this world is here and now in my own life and body quitting smoking seemed like a way to be the change I want to see in the world .
These are a couple of cards out of an old card game called The Illuminati Card Game . Some people believe some of the cards have ended up being prophetic since they came out years before some of the events they depict that actually happened. After hearing that I picked out a few good cards I would like to see happen and wolla ! So far so good . Works for me anyway hee hee :)

Transformation Complete
Dancing and jumping for joy! A first moth hatched tonight :)) I watched as it slowly nudged it's head through the cocoon and emerged pumping up its wings and spreading them elegantly before my eyes. How beautiful :) How fitting the recent solar flare melting an arctic-like snowscape outside, everything is melted and the sun was shining so bright what a day!
