Wordless Wednesday

 There's nothing quite like the sight of fluffy Canada goose babies curled up in a field of golden daffodils—springtime at its sweetest. Their proud parent stands nearby, ever watchful, a gentle reminder of the beauty and protection found in nature’s quiet moments.

These photos were taken by myself on a visit to Niagara Falls, Ontario, a couple of years ago.

    So cute...Thank you for capturing the precious moments. We have geese, but I believe the college is supporting the use of birth control. Their students became ill from the "volume".

Today feels like (another) new beginning.  I always have good intentions with this forum, but then seem to fall away and put it on the back burner.  I think I suffer from writer's block and am always very critical of my own writing  While I enjoy writing, and getting my thoughts down, it's not natural for me. However, this month I am going to participate in the  Ultimate Blog Challenge  where I will be committing to posting daily for the month of April.   This blog has always been a place where I share pieces of our retirement life, especially the travel side of it. Not in a "look where we went" kind of way, but more as a way to remember the moments, the lessons, and the small things that made each experience meaningful. So for this challenge, I'm setting a few simple goals: to be consistent - even on days that I don't feel like writing to capture more of the everyday moments and not just the highlights to share a mix of stories, tips, and reflections ...

It was designed to fix a pretty practical problem — communication signals bouncing all over Toronto’s growing skyline. Engineers needed a way to send stronger signals over all those new skyscrapers, so they decided: why not build something way taller than everything else? Simple enough idea. But what they ended up creating was so much more. By the time it was finished in 1976, the CN Tower wasn’t just solving communication problems — it was the tallest free-standing structure on Earth. It held that title proudly for over 30 years. Even now, at 553 meters (about 1,815 feet), it still ranks among the tallest and most recognizable ...
