Some Autumns my Arbutus unedo performs beautifully, sharing its bounty for the birds and mammals to enjoy. Its fruit is sweet and squishy! Not everyone appreciates it to eat, but it is always a feast for the eyes!

Just removed the screen filled with fallen leaves off my water feature in our back garden. It is a bit flattened from that experience but it still looks pretty good, all in all! I love the sound while working in my back yard!

This is the Divine mystery supreme! A wonderful thing it is, and the source of our happiness! We need not wait to see what others do, we can begin with ourselves!

We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our own body. If we should change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change! As a human changes his/her nature so does that attitude of the world change toward her/him.

The World I Seek
I seek a world free of war and the threat of war.
I seek a society with equity and justice for all.
I seek a community where every person’s potential may be fulfilled.
I seek an Earth restored.
I also realize that this must begin with me, my actions and my relationships!

Back home in Tigard Oregon! So enjoyable to see the fall rains have come while we have been gone! Fresh crisp air, sun in the trees and Gaultheria (Salal) blooming out of season!

GOLD DUST
Who would be a butterfly?
Flower of air, shining and fugitive;
I envy that trembling existence,
Who always in payment for the nectar it sips,
Leaves a dusting of gold on every bloom!

On the left a peccary that wandered in and began licking my calf! I was quite surprised! In the middle photo fish and plantain lunch served on banana leaves, on the right a young woman artist with Barb.

On the left is a pair of gate locks that are closed. The next photos shows a pair of gate locks closing to allow the area to fill to float the boat farther down. The far right one shows them closed and the water rising, now lifting the red ship! Amazing feat of engineering!

We visited the Panama Canal . The green topped things that look like bridges are gate locks to hold the water to float the ships.
