Rocky Mountain Prayer Just another west coast mountain morning Slow haze steaming through the dawn. Sun sneaking through a cherished mist, Flowers stretching in dew-kissed yawn. Limbs above me in a flitter, flutter, Twitter of birds feast morning’s treat. My breath alive in wonder of the nature, Skyward bound, and under feet.  The acute wonder of his creation, This masterpiece he did complete, Stimulates my soul to overflowing, My day starts off in joy so sweet. As I take in my surroundings fair, This postcard in which I live, I will never take your gifts for granted This beauty that you so freely give.  I thank the creator in all reverence, Every single day I'm allowed to live For another day of his paradise, With a rocky mountain prayer I humbly give. ~*~ ((~.~))Hi Everyone! Pic. 1 - Grande Boulevard park looking North to Grouse Mountain. Pic. 2/3 - Those mountains I captured in the background are what we call "The Lions" and in the winter they actually look like two lions laying down. (the thing in front is a Candian Goose) These pictures were taken at the end of my street this morning looking up at Grouse Mountain to the west.This is the first time ever I was brave enough to get that close to those birds, but wanted to capture them to show you as they are off soon.It has been so hot here, and I think they are confused some.  I wanted to share my beautiful home with all of you and could find no better way to do this, than with this mini-movie I found of Vancouver.Enjoy! http://www.vancouverscenes.com/ Imagination is more important than knowledge...

Now how can I put off saying Thank You for sharing these lovely photos! Did you know that in South Dakota, there is a warm water geyser that is in the heart of Rapid City [I think it was Rapid City] and the Canadian Geese live in that city year around? They are EVERYWHERE.... If I find out that I misspoke on the location, I'll come in with a correction. But for now, my friend, this was a perfect poem for a sultry late summer August day... thank you! |

Well as I type I am researching where these guys actually do go. Lived here almost 30 years and you know I have no idea LOL, typical! They are a very BAD problem here, but that could be fixed if we could get them to pick up diapers on their way back home. I am about to head over town to Stanley Park to the motherload of geese there, and see if I can get pictures for a friend down there that didn't know what a Canadian Goose was. Trust me I am not going to tell you what she did think it was. Thanks Karilea. |

Hey sharon, there are thousands of them that end up in the Denver area. From there, I'm not sure where they go except south for a couple of months during the worst part of Colorado's winter, yet some actually hang out in Denver all winter. You can see them at Washington Park, sitting on the ice! BTW, Sara and I will never forget that mountain, the sky tram ride, and that cool suspension bridge we walked on when we visited with you.  have a great sunset! |

Um, did I mention we are kind of proud about an upcoming event? Vancouver is hosting the Winter Olympics in 2010, so who do you know that may find you accommodations http://www.winter2010.com/ Thank you for enjoying my morning stroll with me. |

Ah, dear girl, you do my heart good! I needed that. Peace... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!! We have some Canadian Geese that never leave and go further south than here in southern Ontario. Seems the milder winters keep them closer to home. Thank you for showing others our magnificent country Sharon. Love ya lady~ ~ Summer can't be over... |
