I spent a wonderful 3 days away at St. Michael's Retreat Center, Lumsden and found this beautiful bird flitting amongst the trees. They move so quickly it is difficult to find them paused long enough to get a photo!
Below, some always beautiful lilacs which may have been planted by former residents - farmers/ homesteaders - as they were back in the trees.
I think of these
inside & outside paths as leading to a sense of mystery.
The one on the left is the outer circle which surrounds the inner sanctuary - the heart of St. Michael's.
Both may be experienced as paths to the beautiful and contemplative.
What a nice little bird! I like the pathways too, I'm glad you spent a few nice days there, it is great to have a change of pace. I was sorry to read in the news about the sad events outside st walburg, since from the description it sounds as tho you might have known them.
