Just a thought… Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. [Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.]

You can watch a video version of this journal on my Facebook page, or here on YouTube.

We had a very special treat outside our windows (off the deck, actually) the other day and I just had to share it with you.

Please do make a point of watching this video of the gorgeous diamond formation of the Snowbirds and their #OperationInspiration. Notice the 1:30 mark; it’s at that point that they turn over Sidney by the Sea, and it was breathtaking.

Hey – I also managed to kick a planter while shooting (within the first minute or so) and not even swear! Is there an Oscar for cinematography in my future? Or just a planter’s (sic) wart?

Do enjoy these moments of zen: the blue sky, the majesty of the mountains, strait and islands beyond and, of course, Canada’s Snowbirds.

Have a lovely weekend and my journal returns on Monday. Thanks for the fly-by, my friend!
