Birch freeze frame

A video still (some filters added to it, can't remember what but I didn't use them in the video itself), the video will appear later today, saving it now, upload to YouTube hopefully in the morning before I go out...

                                                        

Blueberry-glazed Cheesecake

Yum, delicious. ♡Birthdays! On Thursday night, there were only 5 of us, my brother and his children couldn't make it. My daughter and I made a large but very light cheesecake. One slice left the next morning, which I took a photograph of so *you* can have a piece too, and join us in our small and quiet celebration. ♥♥


♡All sweet wishes fill my starflower shining basket of solar years! ♡Thank you!♡ ☼☆☆☆☆

                                                        

Horn-honking street-cheering TO celebrates Olympic Gold

direct link to YouTube video: Horn-honking street-cheering Toronto celebrates Olympic Gold

A horn-honking,

street-cheering city,

a cacophony

of car horns,

and revelry,

laughing and waving-

Canada makes Olympic history.

Toronto celebrates!

As soon as the last overtime gold goal was scored,
people piled out of taverns, their homes, cheering.

You reach for the stars, Team Canada,

and they're gold.

Medals, a constellation of 14 stars

helping the country navigate

now-

An Olympic record, and first time

for us on home soil.

Rubbing gold stars

from our eyes

in disbelief...

The red maple leaf,

our flag

flying high tonight.

The streets of Toronto explode into a Winter party.

A whole country berserk with celebration.

Congratulations, Canada.

                                                        

Transparencies

Momentarily I became soft, not soft exactly but like glass become thick liquid, melting, memories of hot silica, pliable, and if you knew you could reach your hand through to the other side to Alice's Wonderland.

Through the glass; through the invisible world.

It didn't last; edges returned,
and I continued on.
