According to Buddha
When we drop all of our painful effort to attain something, then suddenly there is spaciousness in our consciousness, a sense of being unobstructed, and we are able to enjoy life as it comes.

ha-hallelujah, oh, i’m down on the beach

a day or so ago Lesser Slave Lake known traditionally as ᐊᔭᐦᒋᔨᓂᐤ ᓵᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ ayahciyiniw sâkahikan ~ Treaty 8 lands AB ~ November 2021
Lesser Slave Lake looks like a nice place to visit.
yes…it’s has many interesting historical pieces as well…only been here once a long time ago…I’m enjoying seeing parts of Alberta now with my little black box…it’s very harsh in Alberta…and very rural as well…I’m certainly curious Hien…there is a lot of birds here you’d enjoy that too 🤓💫🙏 sending joy hedy
Beautiful icy beach.

Alison 💕
thanks so much Alison ☺️🙏☀️🤗🤍appreciated happy weekending…my thoughts are with the humans and critters in the lower mainland. so sad.😢
It’s been pretty rough for people inland from us 😢
Yes we have some friends😰I remember my parents telling us about the flood in the Netherlands in 1953…I can still remember images from a book they had…😳😭
Another beautiful series of photos, Hedy. There is something special about this time of year beyond the holidays, and your opening quote “we are able to enjoy life as it comes…” along with your images hold the truths 🙂
Always appreciated Randall ☺️🙏humbled…yes there is always moments in every 24 hours right🤓❣️hugs hedy
If this is “lesser” as the name implies, I wonder how large the “regular” version is, or if there is a “Greater Slave Lake”???
Well I did need to check the size I’m not good with numbers 🤓☺️ Lesser Slave Lake, lake in central Alberta, Canada, 130 miles (209 km) northwest of Edmonton and 400 miles (640 km) south of Great Slave Lake (in the Northwest Territories). It is 60 miles (97 km) long by 12 miles (19 km) wide and has an area of 451 square miles (1,168 square km)…pretty big right 🤓😳
Spaciousness, yes. Already you have ice on the lake edges, beautiful.
Apparently this lake is typically frozen by mid November🤓so this is unusual…I’d love to return to see ice fishing…it’s a very large lake Lynn endless land 🥺😳🤓🤍🕊happy days to you ~ hugs hedy 🤗
I like the idea of those wide, endless horizons. I looked it up…north of you and near mountains so I see how it actually should be frozen by now but…there ya go, the climate is changing. But we’ll always find beauty, won’t we?
oh yes I’m pleased this search for beauty is possible…one of my intentions with sloppy🤓☺️
Beautiful spaciousness indeed… Merci. (Just felt the same, as always, on 5th Avenue… A strange sensation. Vertical spaciousness?) 🙏🏻
Yes an urban spaciousness…all strange sensations these days Brian…better go to see your travels 🤓☺️💫👌hugs hedy 🤗🕊
Hugs back.
