I had such a great day today, spending time shopping and having coffee with my YDD. These are some photos of LITTLE MOMENTS in a florist shop:

When I went for my workout walk this morning I saw this baby seagull, well it isn't really a baby anymore but seagulls act like babies for a very long time. As you can see this one is almost full grown but they sit a peep at their parents trying to get their attention and, I guess, get them to feed them. It really is a pathetic sound. Mom was sitting a little ways away completely ignoring her noisy off-spring. A LITTLE MOMENT that I wouldn't have taken any notice of if Ihadn't had my camera with me.
I have a friend who is going through a very difficult time right now. Her son has had major surgery for cancer and her neighbour that lives below her in her apartment building has been harrassing her through the manager of the building. He complains about her making a noise between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am. She goes to bed at 8:30, wakes at 5:30 and then goes downstairs to the library, to use the computer, until 7:00. It is her word against his and they have chosen to take his word. She has been given an eviction notice and is sick with worry about where to go as she is on a basic old age pension.
I am relating this story as a reminder for those of us who have good health and a warm and comfortable place to live to be grateful for what we have and notice all those LITTLE MOMENTS that make life special.

I am so happy to be carrying my camera again. I got out of the habit after my camera was stolen last year. There are so many special LITTLE MOMENTS when I am walking, especially at this time of the year when there are so many beautiful colours. There aren't too many coloured leaves on the trees yet - except for this tree that I can't remember the name of. I love their fiery colours. I used to have two or three of them in my front yard in Kelowna. I also had a huge maple tree in the back yard that turned brilliant yellow in the fall and there was a golden carpet on the ground. I loved that tree:

I forgot my camera again when I went for my walk and I wanted to take a picture of some ducks. Some were pecking away in the grass and others we in the water. I believe they are the ones that an Aquabus driver told me were only here in the winter. I will try to get a picture another day and put it here.
I have noticed since I have been doing this I am noticing more. A seagull today that was brown and white and I wondered if it was a young one. I was also noticing the needles on some pine trees and a little sparrow in the bushes. I am definitely seeing more and appreciating more.

SUNRISE ON FALSE CREEK
Today's LITTLE MOMENT is my neighbour thanking me for the Christmas card I gave her. It is a photograph of False Creek. She said she has it on a shelf right at the front where she can look at it every day. It is such a great feeling to have your creativity appreciated. These are the two pictures I used on my cards.
