Park walks... you might say its my daily highlight with the dogs.... I spend so much time in the park throughout the year I feel like its my second home ... I feel blessed.
Christmas -- someone got in the spirit xo
One summer day I was walking through the park in town as I am so often found doing... and a young man - adult student - was giving a group of about 15 other young people a tour and as I came upon them all with my dogs I said to the group "keep your eyes open for the heron...." to which the young tour leader told them "No, there are no heron in this park" ... I laughed at him and carried on.... I have photographed a number of heron throughout our park in different places over the past nine years so I know I'm right... but I don't argue with people like this ... I will say that I find their closed-minds and stubborn attitudes rather unsettling.
Like I told Elaine Dewar when I was on Facebook.. I'm a reasonable person living in a town run by and filled with unreasonable university people...
Elaine's kind of a big deal and if you don't know her name its because like so many great thinkers and amazing writers she has been 'suppressed' in Canada...
I'd promoted her and I had ordered four of her books through "Tidewater Books" in town - owner Ellen Pickle didn't seem to know Elaine's name or her great books.. sadly.... Facebook .. https://www.facebook.com/ElaineDewarBooks/
I consider Elaine's work important and she is one of a handful of suppressed authors that I can think of that are women including:
Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, Niki Raapana, Nordica Friedrich and Dr. Judy Wood.
So who's Elaine? http://elainedewar.blogspot.ca .. she is a Canadian treasure AND she promoted "Indie Media Eastcoast" Facebook page for me when I was still using Facebook .. I was promoting her great works here in our part of Canada
Random Gen X post... cheers.
#FridayReads: The Handover by Elaine Dewar, the book that has the whole Canadian publishing industry abuzz.
