Creativity In The Most Boring Days

The wildfire in Alberta as if its a thick wall kind of extreme wildfire almost like desert storm as shown on TV News. Incredible! You can only see something like that of gigantic proportion in movies. Is that really "real?" Extreme, excessive smoke coming out from everywhere in Northern Alberta as firefighters battle this massive wildfire have those Canadians wearing smoke masks as the city within that area of wildfire is contained. Smoky, hazy film atmosphere, as if fog lingers and surround the vicinity. People were evacuated of course. Who wants to stay and live in their city: High Level & Slave Lake with smog filthy air  as if its the planet of  Riddick? Vin Diesel's probably producing a movie in that smoky regions of Alberta. It's not a laughing matter for those who are affected and those with respiratory problems. Excuse me! Pray for the Albertans who are suffering from this kind of wildfire and if its not wildfire its tornadoes. We should all pray that there will be no wildfire ever again. Be extra cautious. Keep everyone safe from harm.

We are lucky and fortunate to have a better, clear and present opportunity of clean and safe environment except for some fluffy seeds floating in the air caused by cottonwood trees. Those fluffy whites of fiberfill looked-like snow when they touched the ground. It's okay, that will only last for 2-3 weeks at the most until those seeds are taken and carried away by the winds away from me or when the island experience some kind of storm.

Know what? Those cottonwood trees should be cut down for the purpose of sculpture and firewood. Leave those douglas fir trees, spruce, pine trees and sequioa trees alone. Just cut down the cottonwood trees. lol.
Now that's funny eh?

If you are curious what I did today? Know what? I asked my daughter to help me move those heavy ceramic pots to the backyard. Some people followed the front porch approach (Americans), others followed the backyard approach (Canadians). I transferred the fuschia bougainvillea and  re-planted  it from the small plastic pot to that bigger ceramic pot.

I couldn't believe how fast that bougainvillea plant grows. This bougainvillea has grown 7 inches since at the time I bought it from Canadian Tire last may 11, 2019. Wow! Truly amazing!!


It's only 16 degrees celsius today. I'm not sure if the weather temperature will go up today or drop. As I said before there is unpredictability when it comes to weather temperature at the island. Sudden drop of temperature can change body functions and metabolism. Surely it will also affect the lives of plants and animals.

So far hasn't capture any of those garden visitors such as the white cabbage moths and swallowtails. Butterflies are the most difficult to capture through the lens. I can't stay there at the garden 24/7 just to take a shot of those winged creatures. In previous years I did captured few butterflies and dragonflies where there are abundance of these creatures because we lived steps away from the forest. Actually we had that one lone black grizzly bear outside of the fence of the yard and few deers eating those blackberries. I don't think deers and bears will be bold and courageous enough to show their presence at the yard because the forest is way, way too far away from where we are residing and the ocean is just nearby and I haven't walk down there. Whatever! My skin complexion is starting to get dark brown. I haven't been swimming in chlorinated pool since 15 years ago. I don't know if the water system in our shower/faucet has chlorine. Do you know the smell of chlorine? If I can't smell chlorine or bleach then there's no chlorine in the water. Maybe it's best to swim at McIvor lake because I'm being boring here.
