Would like some frozen milk with your beautiful Fort St. John morning?

Asleep with eyes open

I dare you to stand below this…

Also, this just in from the Motion Picture Assoc. of America:
"Just because you buy a DVD to watch at home doesn't give you the right to invite friends over to watch it too. That's a violation of copyright and denies us the revenue that would be generated from DVD sales to your friends," said Glickman.

Day time prayer flags

Geshe makes a point

Snow and prayer flags

Poor biking weather

As it was, as it shall be…

Rainy and windy, that is.

Camouflage not working

Golden Flame

Cup of Northern Comfort

First Snow

Almost Yellow

Inside the retreat cabin

Canada Jay, Gray Jay, Camp Robber, Whiskeyjack

A few of these visited regularly to scarf down food.

Floor and a leaf.

Gusts of wind pulling off flurries of leaves. This one made it inside.

Ad blocking for your mac

If you have a MacIntosh computer you can install a little thingy to block ads. I have, and it has really sped up my surfing. It's easy to do and the instructions are here: http://www.beatnikpad.com/archives/2003/03/08/adblocking/

Happy thanksgiving!

the beauty of disease.

i just set it on black velour so there's no distracting grass and such.

Lost sea urchin.

I honestly thought a sea food truck had lost this on the road, til I took a closer look and realized that it was a chestnut.

Karma is a goat.

You CAN beat Karma! Look at the training regime Yahoo! gives. It does include some meditation. And, yes, most of us do need a healthy body to meditate well, so the other exercises seem important too.

Sleeping in the sky. The light says it's not time yet.

Are you…?

To quote the venerable Sesame Street character: "Coooookie!"

things to do

Squashed

It's a life

Left: rained on. Right: dry.

Men: turn right at your peril.

Mongol prayers

Ever seen a mongolian prayer flag? Here you go…

Mongolian is written top to bottom you can see some of the script near the bottom of the flag.

THE summer flower for me

Tansy has rich, golden scent as well as colour. For me it is the quintessential summer flower. If I get a whiff of it in the middle of winter I'm instantly transported back to a dry, hot summer's day.

Crew Only

Is it a blow or a sip?

what a patina!

…and the cup ran away with the spoon.

Walking

Here we are a-doing walking meditation in the forest.

Too red.

This geranium is so mind-blowingly red that my camera can't handle it [or is it that my computer can't handle it?]. Some things are best left for the naked eye.

Rainbow

Just got back from a week-long meditation retreat and this appeared on the last full day - a rainbow in a clear sky is a sign that things went very well.

Rubbery thing

I fear for the rubbery thing. It is too far from the curb. However it looks like the straw [lower right] may be about to rescue it.

Market

The Waterfront

This is my favorite part of the Nelson waterfront: dogs, and wild weeds and arcs of land into the river.

Say "Awww!"

… to this elderly asian couple walking hand-in-hand.

Friends from the market

I feel it is time for a change.
