I Spy With My Little Eye

Do you remember that “I Spy With My Little Eye” game that we played as kids? On long road trips I loved playing that game in the car. What a great early learning tool to teach us the lesson on becoming observant. Creativity begins for me in nature when I am surrounded by fresh air, blue skies and far enough away from bears to enjoy them,……. Lol

Had I not been observant I would have missed this guy, but glad we saw him before we chose to hike on that trail. We just spent a week camping in the sorta Northern Saskatchewan area. We had a great scenic drive through the Narrow Hills Provincial Park and camped at Candle Lake and Waskasiu. Some of the following photos are my little test of observance for you,……
Do you spy with your little eye,……….. a Spruce Grouse?

Do you spy the convention of canker worms? Or tent caterpillars disguised as tree bark?

Do you spy the Beaver Damn on the lower left side of the pond?

Lol. Do not look too hard. I couldn’t spot it either.
Here is the real test! What do you see in this photo?

Haha. You may be able to see the little goslings but if you look carefully you should see the mama behind them. The creative part of me just likes this photo for the “rick rack” pattern in the water. If you have never learned to sew you may not know what the heck Rick rack is but suffice it to say that it is an edging with a zig zag pattern. See what I mean about creative people? I will admit we can be a bit odd,…..😜
I spied this article on creativity. Check it out if you are interested.

And remember

It’s a BLUE BLOG POST!

I was thinking that I had better catch up on a few more winter holiday blogs and didn’t have much time and then started to feel a little blue,………. But that only lasted a few seconds until I started looking at recent photos and saw all that glorious blue.

A morning kayak at Buffalo Pound!

So then I listened to a little “blues”. Check out George Ezra.
His voice is awesome. ,…http://youtu.be/ZS0WvzRVByg

So a little humour goes a long way!

That’s why I cannot run marathons!

So bye bye for now chicks. I sincerely hope the bluebird of happiness flies up your nose or at least migrates near you. 😜
Next up – Yosemite, Oregon Coast, and Victoria Island BC.
