As Ever; Finding the magic, honing our skills and trusting all is well

  I've spent several years now following and watching and, when I'm lucky, capturing the magical moments that creep into life, that is if I am out of my way and when I allow my spirit and intuition to take the lead. This is where my inspiration for Our Enchanted Garden arose. Sometimes I manage to capture little moments in a digital image or video but in our most recent enchanted garden experience we are gifted with an interesting everyday life sort of story with wonderful twists and turns.
  I lost my job just recently, only to come home and find a cheque (enough to cover about a month of lost wages) in the mail - money owed to me from an insurance settlement for an injury incurred a few years back. Phew - crazy or what? While the job loss event upsets me in many ways, seeing myself at failing in the challenge, yet I find myself repeating the words; Things Happen For a Reason - because I just know it's so true. When I did that, it's as if i  unlocked some new level in the video game of our life!
  The day previous John and I had been speaking about the Law of Attraction from the perspective of breaking old patterns of behavior and we were presented with the challenge of determining what was wrong with our truck AGAIN! and if we had ourselves a *&%+#@(* lemon of a truck or what!!!! Funny thing is I suggested to John if he doesn't force the issue and he just "Goes with the flow" he might get a pleasant surprise and find the truck will be fairly easy to fix.
  Today he confirmed it when he went out to his truck (sitting lonely at the parking lot at work.) and after locating an interesting little re-set switch was able to start the truck with no trouble! He came home with such a grin on his face, it was great and we agreed it was worth not forcing the issue of trying to repair the truck immediately and just flowing through the challenge to find a solution.
It may be we have a design flaw in this truck that may be covered by a re-call so we will be working on exploring that with Ford!
  I continue to make the intent to move forward in my passion for my best and highest good and trust that opportunity will present itself to allow me to explore and express that in some manner. My passion continues to be Celebrating Nature, the Natural World and the Human Spirit immersed within it. I enjoy finding ways to share that with any who wish to explore. How I am able to express that in conjunction with my world experience seems to be some of the latest explorations spirit has taken me through.
  So in trusting that the magic will continue to unfold as I have always been able to feel confident with. I await the dawning of another new day and more magical adventures to encourage and inspire me further. This is such a joyful and productive activity I'm beginning to wonder why I would want to "operate" in any other manner! Many of us have underlying beliefs and have been programmed through generations to believe life should be hard to prove you are worthy somehow! This is something I don't really see happening in nature and it seems to me it is as un-natural for humans as it is for a lady bug!
  In the end I am ever humbled by the opportunity I have to experience such marvels. Many miss these little magical moments - they can seem so small, often they can be short-lived, and yet they can stand out like a beacon at the same time. Ever grateful, I remain;
The caretaker,
With love, ...from the garden

Walk in the garden.blogspot.com; a photo blog

It's our belief the Earth on which we live is truly an Enchanted Garden. Nature has a magical way of creating and sustaining itself, usually with an incredible abundance and variety of expression. This is actually the natural way of the world we live in, despite human attempts to rally against or fight or ignore nature.

A Photo-Blog with a fun and quirky flavor, including some digital artwork, inspirations, experiments and the stories behind them giving some insight into how a couple of happy gardeners view our backyard and our world!
Visiting is just like taking a Walk In The Garden

We planned our landscaping to reflect our appreciation for the natural world and the desire to observe nature up close by making use of native plant varieties, allowing seed bearing plants to stand as feed for wildlife and creating a healthy micro-environment for them. Sometimes even the garden visitors: mainly birds and squirrels leave seeds and bulbs that surprise us later on!

I enjoy sharing some of the magical photographs and images I'm grateful to be able to capture and create. Other fun photos and stories highlighting the rest of our life in the garden will inevitably show up here too. Road trips, camping, fishing, biking, our dogs and our rescue foster pups and their antics, are the likely topics!

I celebrate nature, the natural world and the human spirit immersed within it. My passion is in sharing the simple reminders the garden and nature share with me. Through my photographic adventures I've learned something we humans often overlook; We are a part of Nature, not apart from it! That we are human spirits immersed within this magical, miraculous and beautiful world. Understanding this fundamental truth has been changing my life in lovely ways. I look forward to and welcome further developments this focus provides and hope you might be inspired to reconnect with the natural world around you!
