Things My Eyes Have Seen Today

[Donna K & Quincy]

Today was supposed to be a rainy day but instead it was 75 degrees and sunny. I spent a little time doing some gardening and clean up from a recent wind storm and then we went out for our afternoon outing, which is what we do on all nice days on the weekends. As we were out walking, I got to thinking how sometimes when we see things so often, we really don't see them anymore. I started to look, really look at what was around me and try and see through new eyes. This is not an easy thing to do when you are suffering from old sightedness but I gave it my best shot. So I started taking pictures with my ever present camera and did so right up until the battery died because I had forgotten to charge it. The sun has now set, the camera is recharged, the doodle is asleep so I thought I would share a few of the things my eyes have seen today.

What a wonderful way to start our day, seeing all the beautiful photos you have posted!  Thank you!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

These photos are amazing.  Thanks so much for sharing them so we could all enjoy your beautiful day!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

This type of attitude is all one really needs to turn an otherwise bad day into a good one -- focus on the good and the beautiful things that are happening in your life rather than the bad and ugly.   There are positive things happening in our lives all the time ..... sometimes we just must look a whole lot harder to find them.   What a beautiful place that you live and these are some wonderful pictures.

I was going to post pictures of our walk, too, but I figured the twelve shades of beige houses in our development and the road construction that has been going on for months might bore you guys to tears.  These pictures are spectacular and envy-inducing. Your backyard is exquisite.  Thanks for sharing these beautiful images with us.

Donna, you are most definitely going to need to get a bigger house, your yard is soon to be over run by doodles and doodle moms.
Your world is stunning everywhere you look.

I actually got on line yesterday morning to read about your Newfoundland and Labrador for my future retirement travels and you post this today - me thinks it's a sign!

Lovely!

O' what a beautiful day you had. Imagine seeing a seal on an outing. Lovely sunset. Great photos.

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Really beautiful, it's so true that if you truly live in the moment and really look around you it's amazing what you see.  Thank you for sharing your day here.

[Camilla and Darwin]

I am SO jealous of where you live!!!

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

WOW, amazing photos! Amazing nature!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

What an absolutely beautiful place to live. Good for you to look at all the wonder around you an appreciate it with new eyes.  No matter where we each live, there is beauty in nature all around us if we just take the time to find it.

Thank you for sharing this.
