Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Hello everyone,

It continues to be a very busy season. I always feel like I'm running to catch up but I am enjoying life and I hope you are too.

In one of the blogs I read, Affectioknit, Teresa, wrote about her intent to donate her long hair to charity. She's already done it for several years.

Hair yesterday before hair cut (sorry about the lighting)

I thought this was a wonderful idea.  I've long wanted to do it myself but seldom have long enough hair to do so.

My hair now

This year things changed. I haven't been to the hairdresser for so long. It gave my hair a chance to grow. I've been planning to go and get my hair cut off as it was getting far too long to brush and stay neat.
The reminder to donate hair to charity came at the right time.

I did some investigating and found a place near my home that will accept hair of all kinds.

Locks to be donated

While I am not entirely happy with my hair cut, I can live with it and it will grow out. I am pleased that I have enough length to donate to someone who can benefit from what otherwise might go in the trash.

Have a wonderful week ahead!

My World

 

 What could be better than a warm day's walk watching the peaceful scene of ducks on the water and breathing in the glorious scent of wild roses?

Joining in with Our World Tuesday today.

Enjoy your week and thank you for visiting!

Frolicking Birds and a Fence

I was lucky to catch a male Mallard Duck flapping its wings in the water.

The detail and the colouring on the feathers is simply amazing and beautiful.

Not to be outdone by the ducks, the Canada geese were making their presence known.

Westham Island ~ Pt. 2

On Monday when we set out for Westham Island  about 45 minutes south of my home (near Ladner), it was quite overcast.

I thought for sure it would rain.

Instead it was quite warm and the sun came out though my photos only seemed to capture the clouds.

Rain didn't fall until several days later.

I enjoyed all the marshy, swampy areas.

I couldn't quite tell but it looks like a big eagle's nest on the tree. 

There were in fact a few eagles flying overhead but too far away to get good photos.

I'm not sure what kind of tree this branch belong to but it sure looks like a tree that grows in a swamp!

I'm joining in with Skywatch Friday.

Please come by and visit again soon and let me know you stopped by!
