The Places We Go
"Baby. You’re going to find yourself in dark places. You decide if that dark place is a burial or a planting." - Dorothy Mae Adams-Streeter, mother of Mayor Eric Adams
I guessed the pet on the road got a lot of love from his owners and was not as sad as he looked. I fell for his sagging solemn charms and took many pictures.
Turns out trees do speak a secret language. Learn what they say in the video below.

I love balanced rocks. The ones you found that use pieces of wood are very cool. I've never seen anything like that.
ReplyDeleteI have read a couple books about the wood wide web and it just blows my mind about the connections. I haven't looked at forests the same since. I love your short video.
Love those balanced rocks on planks of wood! I used to balance rocks in my yard - was very soothing to do that. A Zen kind of thing... And the old dog with sad eyes captured my heart... I think there is a famous poem by Rilke or Rumi about trees talking to each other - in a mystical way :) Can't think of it right now... :(
ReplyDeleteSuch a great quote! Our moms could be very wise. I loved all these images, and if I saw that sweet dog's expressive face, I would have taken a zillion photos. A pleasure to visit as always :)
ReplyDeleteI do like the quote. The balanced rocks and sticks are very creative!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeletePretty views of the beach and the balanced rocks are a neat sight. I love the sweet old dog and his gray face. I hear the trees talking during my walks in our local forest. Pretty capture of the Robin! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Given the price of homes in Vancouver right now that little house in the woods would probably set you back more than your life's earnings!
ReplyDeleteHello,:=) Many interesting finds, in particular the log with the knot "nest" with stones which look like eggs, and the balancing stones. Life is also like that, getting the right balance in life is crucial to our existence. I have always heard that Mum knows best. Lovely woodland property, and picture of the cherry blossom, also the robin, and soulful looking dog.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
I like pebbles you can do a lot with them ! I used to choose pebbles which had the shape of a cat and transformed them into cats using acrylic colors, I sold them rather quickly ! The doggy seems to be quite old he has a grey beard !
ReplyDeleteThose rocks are very cool! I love seeing stacks here when I hike on some trails. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the balanced stones at the beach when I used to stay at the hotel in Steveston. - Margy
ReplyDeleteDear Maria - Thank you for the quote. By association I remembered “Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.” by Martin Luther. “Sagging solemn charm” is aptly described. The dog looks trying to remember something with nostalgia. I enjoyed seeing the balanced stones and such an interesting video. I’ve learnt a lot as always.
