M is for Magical Moments captured in photos #AtoZChallenge


Moments pass, from January to December
Precious moments, we want to remember,
Magical moments, so wondrous and pure
We must be ready when they occur,

The seasons change, the days go fast
Photos help make moments last,
I try to take photos every day
To capture moments in a special way,

I take photos of the squirrels and birds
Face it, I’m one of those camera nerds,
My cameras are waiting, handy and near
Always ready should that moment appear,

Cats and dogs, cute kids and trees
Clouds in the sky, spring flowers and bees,
Cities and villages, around and about
I capture the moments, inside or out

I click away and the camera complies
Capturing moments, I see with my eyes,
Sometimes it’s a dud and sometimes it’s gold
I’ll look back on these moments when I am old,

Magical moments are here and then gone
Capture the moments and make them live on.

    I'm amazed how quickly and easily you compose these poems, Cathy. Another nice one! Your nature photos are enjoyable, too. A woman of many talents!

    I've seen your critter pics on Facebook! :D
    True, we capture the magical moments of life in our camera. And sometimes, we capture them in words on our blogs... so we can look back on those when we're old.

    Btw, I'm lagging behind. (Was unwell.) Will post my 'L' and catch up with your 'L' next Sunday. In the meantime, DO visit my 'M'.

    Happy AtoZing!

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestim...

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini...
