Vale ~ Mille...

Mille's beloved Surf Beach

VALE ~ This morning I received the very sad news that our neighbour ~Mille~ had passed away. Mille had been coming to this area for 35 years in the house next door to ours. My Heart and Prayers go to his Widow Ivka and their Family...they were here every second weekend...and sometimes in between. I couldn't leave this day without remembering Mille ~

You would know the Secret of Death,

But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the Heart of Life?

The Owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto

the Day cannot unveil the Mystery of Light.

If you would indeed behold the Spirit of Death,

Open your Heart wide unto the Body of Life.

For Life and Death are One,

Even as River and Sea are One.

Kahlil Gibran ~1833-1931

Lebanese Poet, Artist and Mystic

And in Mille's Words ~Take it easy my good people~

Sailability...And On The Pier!!!

Last weekend our Daughter JoJo had the opportunity to participate in Sailability. Sailability is the peak organization for Sailors with disabilities...which facilitates sailing for everyone regardless of age or disability with emphasis on opportunities for people with disabilities. To my understanding Sailability is world-wide. We photographed this very, very special and momentous occassion for her... 'Sailing Pelicans'


The historic Clyde River Bridge...Clyde River is famous for some of the cleanest oysters around...

Waiting patiently for her turn...

All set...

Doggy also enjoying...

A little distraction here...a local Restaurant ~On The Pier~ superb food, stunning views up and down the River...mountains on one side, town on the other...

Also popular for Weddings...

Back to the action now...heading off...

Thank you Sailability, And very special thanks also to the Carers

A Great Day!!!
