Day’s end at the lake. Time to say g’night to what’s been & worry not about what’s to come. #sunsets #lakelife #comesitstay #breretonlakeresort #viewfrommybench

Views from where this Canadian girl finds herself. Nothing like London in the UK. #summerscenes #cheerio #UKiconics

English scenes from a Canadian abroad. Not sure whose soul needs these views today but mine does. Wish I could grow lavender like this. #Saturdaystuff #UKflora

Cheery summertime florals always take a day to ‘next level’ status. Smile …. 😁 #summerviews #lakeflorals #soulfood

Taken at Assiniboine Park’s The Leaf, during my first visit there. Thank you @bensigurdson.bsky.social.

Giving up versus hanging on: a visual for both outlooks. After some dreary weather, the sun is back & all feels good. Tulips are short-lived but always interesting. #tulips #viewfrommyvase #springsigns

Mid-April snow, whiting out Winnipeg. Ugh. The only white stuff I need to see is connected to the fabulous @winnipegjets.com! So enjoy this view of true spring as seen on a New York street a few years back. Yes, please #springtime

Here’s the #viewfromywindow this morning. In a month that feels soooo long but has gone by soooo fast, it’s good to pause, breathe & ponder your view. Without expectations, angst or queries. The day will bring what it brings. #Prairiecitysunrise #Winnipeg #suburbanskyline

From 11 years ago. Sure wish I was enjoying this waterside massage area in Ambergris Caye, Belize today. Never mind the frigid Artic front that recently stalled over the Canadian prairies. What about the political insanity on both sides of the border? Sigh. #getaway #AmbergrisCaye

An image for TBT combined with ‘What is It?’. Last Fall’s UK Llangollen Canal trip led us to the town of Chirk in Wrexham. Saw this outside a small grocer’s place. Taken with my IPhone 13. Have no
Idea what this veg is but loved the shapes &
water droplets. #UKcanaltrip #veggies #Chirkmarket

Weekends: whether yours is busy or you get to hang around like this lethargic fall bee, enjoy. Embrace. Breathe. Both times of productivity and leisure give us safe places to land when life gets chaotic. (Note to self: you don’t have to choose.) And chaos is around the corner. #viewfrommyperch

Every day should start this way, no? Calm. Bright. Strips of promise-laden clouds. This was Day 1 of last fall’s Llangollen Canal trip in the UK. Narrowboat living may be a tad squishy but views like this feel expansive. #narrowboatlife #UKcanals #bestskies

As another year begins, here’s hoping for more days like this throughout 2025. When your road has too many potholes, know that you are stronger than you think. More forward-thinking than you realize. More blessed than may be evident. Let’s make time to hug ourselves more often. Happy 2025!

Heading into the final days of 2024 with a little ‘rot on the water’, seen around Ellesmere during this fall’s long boat Llangollen Canal trip in the UK. The year’s gone by fast; plenty of high & low moments. This view was a ‘high.’ Hope you’ve many of those. #UKcanalttip

A holiday smile for today, courtesy of Olaf, a fabulous Elf-on-Shelf substitute in days gone by. Today, this puffy snowman has become a piece of our festive decor; his backstory, a fond reminiscence. Enjoy & share yours!

Saluting ‘that time of the year’, of course. But amid all the hustle and bustle, I’m going to try & ‘star’ in moments of calm. I need to remember: you don’t have to ‘do everything’ & what doesn’t get done maybe was only a big deal in your mind? Just breathe & enjoy!

In a time of global unrest, unease & overall unruliness, coupled with too many doses of self-centred stupidity, maybe a festive visual is needed. Of course, a snowstorm has started where I live so ….there’s that. #winterwhiteouts #everybodybreathe #viewfrommybauble

Waiting for diners along a lovely alleyway in Dubrovnik. Definitely didn’t spend enough time in this wonderful, complex city. It seemed so much more than a Game of Thrones backlot. Happy Saturday! #viewfrommyweekend

And now for something nice to start the week: early morning mist draped over the quiet fields during this fall’s long boat trip along the UK’s Llangollen canal. Such a calming way to start a day.

Nothing like a ‘throwback Thursday’ to take a person back. This sunset
view was taken in Hvar, Croatia last fall. Blue skies are great but
nothing wrong with the ‘golden hour’ either. Happy Thursday!

A favourite view from this fall’s long boat Llangollen canal trip in the UK. Some tunnels were short; others longer. But there was always light at the end of
them. #viewfrommybow #canaltunnels
